Product Description

Product Description

With the Dragonite you can experience the thrill of building and flying your own high performance model rocket without gluing or waiting. Just snap the pre-colored parts together and you're ready to launch this rocket. As easy as the Dragonite is to assemble, the main feature is the high performance flight profile which can reach altitudes of 1,125 feet using powerful Estes engines. Rocketeers aged 10 and up can enjoy high-altitude thrills, with adult supervision for children under 12.



When you don't have lots of time for building and painting a rocket, the Dragonite is your best bet!


The Dragonite can reach cloud topping heights of 1,125 feet.
3, 2, 1, Lift Off!
Model rocketry that's a SNAP! The 16 inch Dragonite is the newest addition to the Estes Snaps line of model rockets. When you don't have lots of time for building and painting a rocket, this is your best bet. Snap together rockets are perfect for young, new rocketeers. Recovery of your rocket after each cloud-topping flight is provided by a colorful, 12 inch preassembled parachute. Adding to your growing fleet of Rockets? Check out another popular rocket from the Estes Snaps line, the Firestreak SST E2X Model Rocket Kit.

Blast Off to Learning Fun
In addition to the excitement and entertainment it provides, rocketry also has significant educational value. Model rockets transform kids into amateur rocket scientists, encouraging them to think about how the rockets work. Rocket building teaches kids the basics of propulsion, flight, and aerodynamics, and can help foster an early interest in science and engineering. No paint or special tools need for the Dragonite, it literally “snaps” together. Pre-colored body tubes, plastic fin set and die cut decals will have you to the field in minutes with this E2X kit.

Mission Control
The Dragonite requires an Estes Launch System and Estes engines for the launch (not included). Estes A8-3, B4-4, B6-4, C6-5 or C6-7 engines are recommended for all missions. Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly. Tools, construction and finishing supplies sold separately. In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters, recovery wadding and four 'AA' alkaline batteries are required – sold separately unless otherwise specified. Read all instructions before beginning. Make sure you have all parts and supplies required. Test fit all parts before applying glue. Sand as necessary for precision assembly. Product color and shape may vary. When launching, stand back as far as the launch controller cord will allow (15 feet). Rocketry is not intended for indoor use. Choose a large field (500 feet), free of dry weeds and brown grass. Launch only with little or no wind and good visibility.

What's In The Box?
Pre-colored body tube, fins and nose cone, 12 inch parachute and instructions.


With all the parts you need for your launch included, just add the engines and you'll be ready for the launch site in minutes.

Easy assembly, works great!

Easy assembly, works great!
We put this together in under a half hour. The instructions were easy to follow. We used "A" engines. The rocket really worked great. We were able to launch and recover 4 times and it's still in excellent condition for next time! If you need a quick and easy to assemble rocket, this is it!
