Rocket Launcher for Kids - Electric Flying Model Rocket with Parachute Recovery - Eco-Friendly Rocket Toy with Unlimited Re-Launch - Great Birthday Gift

You need a lot of room around you when you are shooting it in the air.

Used for the very first time today. Took the grandkids (4 & 2 yr. olds) out. Launched it 5x after charging. Both kids had a blast. Easy enough for the 4 yr. old to set on the launch pad and actually launch, but a little too difficult for the 2 yr. old to do the same (perhaps after a few more flights)? As for repacking the chute after the flight, it's very simple, however, I did that. I do believe that the 4 yr. old could actually do that with a little coaching. We selected the two push cycle all 5x. The first two times the rocket flew very high. The third and fourth time not so much (perhaps only one push was registered)? The 5th and final flight went very high again. Not sure how many flights we had to go with the full charge, but I suspect quite a few more good ones since the last flight we did went high. Couple things: we only stopped because we had a windy day (maybe 9mph winds)? Allow P L E N T Y of space. We went to a large open park in an area mostly void of trees, with a few baseball fields. We determined wind direction and allowed for lots of room. Upon all launches (due to wind), the beginning of each flight took off mostly at a 45 degree direction prior to going closer to straight up. This led to the rocket ending up at the very least 300 feet away from its launch point. I suspect on a calm day, this would be cut in half (maybe)? Last suggestion would be to take the stand that is provided and epoxy/glue it to something larger and with weight. Otherwise, I don't suspect your take offs would be consistently vertical as the stand may fall once the rocket starts to spin upon take off. Note that my parachute opened every time during return, and once or twice landed on the dirt of the baseball field as opposed to the grass. No visible damage after 5 flights. Of course, being rocket is all foam, anything is possible if the chute fails to open properly, or it lands on something capable of doing damage. Overall, I'm pleased. However, I do believe the cost point is too high, and that it should be in the low $20 price range.

Excellent choice! My Grandsons love it! The rocket 🚀 is a huge hit!

It went so high we lost it! I highly recommend putting a tile tracker on it.

Does not come with info on how to buy spare part. Pretty cheap so I know it will need them.

This is one of the coolest little toys I have seen in a long time. Shows up basically all put together. You put it on the base, click the button and it just works. The propeller begins to spin, after a sec the speed increases and it takes off. Once at the apex, it falls and the parachute slows the fall. Then do it again.It's cheap, reusable, very few pieces to be lost and it is fun as heck.

This rocket is propelled by a two speed motor driven propellor. Was purchased for my son and he was excited to play with it. We charged it and I turned it on not realizing that it was going to start spinning it's prop in my hand. Not ready for it to take flight yet, I held onto it. As soon as it hit is second speed, the propellor exploded and hit me in the stomach with enough force to cut me and draw blood, lol. I was thankful that I was holding it and not my son, also thankful that it didn't hit me in the face. Be warned that the quality of parts are not durable enough to withstand the RPM that the motor spins at and could potentially cause physical harm.

The media could not be loaded. This little ‘rocket’ is really a blast. With two presses of the button it flies high enough to be almost out of sight. 9 year old grandson had no trouble following the directions to set up and launch. I had read previous reviews so built a 4 inch fork out of coat hanger wire to pin the base to the ground and prevent it from tipping over in a breeze. I’d suggest the manufacturer add that to the kit, since it seems like common sense. We also found a BIG field with no trees, since even with a slight breeze, it’ll land a good football field away, and with a strong wind you might not find it since it flies so high. Launch and retrieve on a grass field, not pavement, since it’s just built of styrofoam. Take care to untangle the parachute strings from the interior piston before refolding it. It’s not particularly sturdy, but with care I’m sure we’ll get dozens more launches.
