🚀 Exploring the Skies: Estes 1250 Interceptor Flying Model Rocket Kit Review

My son built this rocket for the 4H project. He was elected Deputy State Fair. It has great details and the finished product looked amazing!

This is a great rocket if you want to fly rockets in a park where there is not much space. All decals resemble those of a large interceptor on a smaller scale.

Waited over 30 years to finally get another interceptor. The original crashed due to engine failure. I was about to show it but I suspect it will fly soon.

It wasn't a teenager in the 70's. I just got back into rocket science and the Interceptor was my first and best choice. Not too difficult, but requires some patience, especially with decals. She is a beauty.

I remember when I was a child (14) and I built this model in anticipation of the launch of my very first rocket. That is hard. Definitely not a newbie. I didn't have any special tools to keep the fins level. I just used my common sense and many patients. Boy was it a blast! He flew so high. At least for me it was. Wow.

The last time this particular rocket model was available it was in a stripped down version. I missed the one with the fancy rocket pods on the sides. When Estes _finally_ re-released the original version, I caught one while I had the chance. Very happy I finally got it. Ironically I built it in 1/72 scale (for my Zoids :) and not as a flying rocket. My flying rockets will sooner or later crash into something unrelenting and repairing them becomes impossible. I wanted to show and play that.
