DESCRIPTION

Now you see it… now you don’t! The Estes Illusion moves quick off
the pad. Watch as this bold beauty soars to 1000 feet and
beyond! Designed to fly on a range of Estes A through C engines,
the Illusion isn’t just built to fly fast… it LOOKS fast! Those
stylish swept back fins, that long and elegant bright red body,
that distinctive jet-fighter style nosecone… the stunning Estes
Illusion looks like it’s always moving – even when it’s standing
still!

As a Beginner-Level rocket kit, the Estes Illusion is carefully
engineered to get you on the pad and in the air quickly.
Featuring a no-glue, snap-together construction design, even the
first-time rocketeer will have no problem assembling this model
rocket in record time. No painting or sanding is required for
this kit. The molded plastic components are ready for use
straight from the box. Further, all parts are pre-colored in a
vivid red, black and grey color scheme. From the tip of the sleek
nosecone to the bottom of the trailing stabilizer fin, all the
painting is done for you. Finish your Estes Illusion by applying
the included custom graphics, self-stick decals and you’re ready
to fly!

Launch prep for the Estes Illusion couldn’t be easier. Simply
insert a recommended Estes engine into the plastic threaded
engine mount, then pack the recovery wadding and parachute. Now
this amazing rocket is ready to take to the skies. Five… four…
three… two… one… ignition… and it’s gone! Track the trail and
watch for the ejection at apogee – the peak of flight. The
colorful 12 inch parachute will deploy and then slowly lower the
rocket back to Earth, ready to reload and take on another
adventurous flight. No tricks here – the Illusion is the model
rocket for you!
