Explorer D-engine Rockets
Mean Machine
Stand back from this beauty! Over 6 feet of rocket with kick-in-the-pants "D" power to boot. Its long, lean looks made it one of our most popular rockets. For D12-5 engines only. Estes Maxi Rod required to launch - sold separately. 
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
The Dude
The Dude is a monster! The biggest rocket available to fly on standard engines. When blown up and assembled, The Dude stands over 7 feet (2.1 m) tall! The body is made from a durable chrome-covered nylon material that blows up like a balloon. Three fins simply attach to a main body ring and The Dude is ready to fly. The set includes a launch pad that "stakes" into the ground and a launch controller to ignite the engine. Fly monster size rockets today...fly The Dude! (Batteries, engines and igniters sold separately.)
