Peachez Hobbies Store including other available model rockets
FREEBIES DETAILS – we have provided flight buddies with every Rocket for quite a while now. Just a little extra to add P’zaz to the order. We are now introducing space stickers, novelty space balloons, and 3D paper models of space related crafts. We have never run out of supply previously but because the market is so weird lately we must say *while supplies last*. What we do is provide 1 flight buddy per ROCKET, we then provide a sticker per order (sometimes more for fun), and when you buy two rockets (even a different model from my store) we begin including the 3D model and balloons at random. We sometimes throw those in with single rocket purchase orders because we love it and want to share the fun! We personally built each 3D model and they are fun and look cool in the office here. They are so much fun to add on to a day of rocket building. If we want to drive sales by having you select us as your rocket kit source we wanted to add something worth while. The balloons are to small to float with helium but they are so cool (they are about the size of a football). The 3D models are about 10 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches which are a perfect size for decoration.
Estes Alpha III
This poplular kit has been taken from a bulk pack to bring it to you at a reduced price. Everything is exactly the same as the retail kit except there is no fancy header card included in the package.
This kit includes full set of instructions and all the parts required to build your model rocket. The one piece fin unit makes it easy to build for beginners. You are always welcome and encouraged to paint your rocket however with this kit no paint is required as the design comes with easy to use stickers and precolored rocket parts so you can be ready for liftoff in minutes.
Model Rockets are rated by skill from low to high. The lower the number the easier the build, the higher the number the more difficult and advanced the build.
If you are just starting in the hobby start at the beginner level and move up from there at your own pace. The five levels generally used are as follows:
1 Beginner
2 Intermediate
3 Advanced
4 Expert
5 Master
THIS IS A LEVEL 1 ROCKET
