Looking for XTREME altitude
and XTREME excitement?
Look no further than the extraordinary Estes XTREME! This
rocket is XTREME in
every way! XTREME performance!
XTREME styling! XTREME coolness!
And – best of all – XTREME fun!
There’s no mistaking the XTREME capabilities of this
extra-streamlined flier. The Estes XTREME is an
easy to build, Intermediate-Level model rocket kit that delivers in
every way!
From the tip of its stretched nose, to its rear
engine-retainer hook, the 16-inch Estes XTREME is a
striking model that even novice rocketeers can build quickly and
easily. Designed around an Estes BT-20 body tube, with surface mounted,
laser-cut card-stock fins, and an old-school engine-mount block, this
traditionally configured three-fin model rocket achieves exceptional
performance on a range of Estes engines, from 1/2 A to C. The narrow,
swept fins are precision shaped for maximum stability and minimum air
resistance. Cut from durable card stock, the low-profile fins require
no shaping, and only minimal finishing before they’re ready
to fly. Topping it off, the elongated plastic nose cone slices through
the atmosphere with ease. There’s nothing holding this one
back – the Estes XTREME is
engineered to impress!
Made for XTREME altitudes,
the Estes XTREME can
reach up to 1600 feet on a single C6-5 engine. If the launch site or
weather conditions dictate a more modest outing, try launching with the
A8-3, B6-4, or one of the other recommended engines. Even with a lower
rated engine, the Estes XTREME still
packs an impressive punch. Recovery drift is kept to a minimum with the
fast-return, 24-inch reflective silver streamer, which also makes
tracking this one back to the ground much easier!
