## Description

In a hurry with no time to build or are you just looking for another great flying, high performance rocket to add to your collection? Estes has just the rocket for you! The Athena is a fully assembled, great looking, high-flying model rocket. Launched on standard Estes engines, the Athena can reach heights of 1100 feet and is easily recovered with 12 inch, brightly colored, fully assembled parachute. Perfect for a hobbyist looking to start in rocketry or for use as a cool, science kit to spark kids interests in aerospace and engineering. WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD: Ready to Fly rocket. No building, gluing or painting required. WHAT YOU NEED TO LAUNCH (sold separately): Estes model rocket engines, starters and recovery wadding. Four 1.5V high quality AA alkaline batteries are also required for launch controller (not included).

Review: En ningún lugar dice que tienes que comprar cosas por separado, las imágenes engañosas porque viene incompleto, este producto solo es el cartón del cohete falta el lanzador, el papel que se le pone y todo lo demás para operarlo… deberían de poner junto lo que se vende por separado para poder comprarlo todo
Review: A solid choice for a beginner's rocket! Easy assembly with just threading the parachute cords through the nose cone is a big plus for first-time rocketeers. The quality and boxed packaging for reduced shipping damage add to its appeal, making it a great value. Stick with a smaller motor to avoid needing a huge field for recovery—those C6 motors can really send it soaring!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Engine size?**
A: The manufacturer's Recommended Engines: A8-3 (First Flight), B6-4, C6-5

**Q: Is the rocket already built?**
A: Short answer is, it's built except for tying on the parachute which took me less time than opening the packaging.

The listing on Amazon claims "Ready To Fly", which is Estes old catchphrase for rockets that require no gluing.
They've changed that branding and now the packaging says "level 1". In any event, I ordered the Athena rocket and when I opened the package it was even more flight-ready than the old "ready to fly" rockets: the only thing I had to do was tie the parachute string on...about 30 seconds of assembly.

For anyone not familiar with estes model rockets, to launch you must have (separate from the rocket) a launch pad and 9v igniter device, and the complete the following steps:
(1) tie the parachute strings to the eyelet on the nose. (30 seconds)  The rocket is now complete.
(2) insert (all separate parts used for each launch) wadding, engine, igniter, plug (2 minutes)
(3) insert the parachute and put the nose on. (1 minute)

**Q: Is it plastic**
A: Yes, Item#2452 Athena is a plastic flying model rocket.
Estes Customer Service

**Q: Can I get a list of additional items that are needed to launch this rocket? It seems like there are a lot of options and I'm not sure what to buy.**
A: Item#2452 Athena Flying Model Rocket is a ready to fly rocket.  You will need item#2222 Porta-Pad II Launch Pad with Electron launch Beam Controller (reusable just like the rocket).  Next, you will need engines (comes with starters and starter plugs)*Please see recommended engine sizes for the rocket  you are launching. and Recovery wadding for each launch.  The Electron Launch Beam Controller does require 4 "AA" Alkaline batteries - sold separately.
