001948 - Big Bertha Description
Skill Level 1

Big Bertha is an Estes original! Big, burly, black and beautiful
perfectly describes this classic. She's an all around Estes
favorite that has truly withstood the test of time. Over the
decades, Big Bertha has been most modelers' first big build.
While standing on its massive fins, this big black rocket checks
in at an impressive 2 feet tall. If you've never flown a Bertha,
get one and launch it. Once you've flown it, you'll take it to
every launch!

The Big Bertha gives you a slow, realistic liftoff. What a thrill
it is to watch! Propelled by powerful standard Estes engines,
this beauty travels to 500 feet and comes back to earth with a
decorated 18 inch parachute. Quality Estes body tubes, laser cut
wood fins, molded plastic nose cone and easy to apply self-stick
decals make for an afternoon of building enjoyment. In one
afternoon your Bertha is ready for an exciting time at the launch
field!
