Product Description
Estes 688 Star Weaver Model Rocket Kit, Advanced (EST0688)
Note: Model Kit Assembly Required
The Star Weaver™ is designed for experienced builders who want more than a straightforward flight. This advanced skill level kit rewards precision and patience with a rocket that delivers both striking looks and serious performance.
From careful fin alignment to staging configuration, every step of the build invites you to sharpen your skills and enjoy the satisfaction of a well executed, high performance model.
Fly Single Stage or Two Stage
One of the Star Weaver’s most exciting features is its versatility. Fly it as a single stage rocket for clean, controlled launches, or configure it as a two stage model for a dramatic boost followed by sustained upper stage flight.
Powered by 13 mm mini engines, the two stage configuration delivers an exhilarating ignition sequence that adds excitement and variety to every launch day.
Soar to Impressive Altitudes
When flown in a two stage setup, the Star Weaver can reach projected altitudes of up to 900 feet. Its slim airframe and lightweight construction help reduce drag, producing fast liftoffs and long climbs that are thrilling to watch.
The streamer recovery system makes post flight tracking and recovery easier, helping you spend less time searching and more time launching again.
Distinctive Design That Demands Attention
The Star Weaver stands apart with its unique airframe featuring two different fin shapes. This bold, space inspired design gives the rocket a premium look that stands out both on the shelf and on the launch pad.
Whether you are building, flying, or showing it off between launches, the Estes Star Weaver delivers the kind of visual impact and performance that advanced rocketeers crave.
