Big Bertha Model Rocket Kit
Over the years, Big Bertha has remained an iconic choice for many model rocket enthusiasts. Its slow, lifelike take-offs are a defining feature of this enduring classic.
Big Bertha, an original creation by Estes, can be aptly described as large, robust, black, and stunning. It has solidified its status as a beloved choice among Estes enthusiasts, standing the test of time. Throughout the decades, Big Bertha has been the go-to choice for most modelers looking to tackle a larger-scale project. When perched on its substantial fins, this impressive black rocket reaches a towering height of 2 feet. If you haven't experienced a Bertha launch before, it's time to get one and send it soaring skyward. After your inaugural flight, you'll want to take it along to every rocket launch event!
The Big Bertha promises an exhilarating, leisurely liftoff, a spectacle to behold. Powered by reliable standard Estes engines, this beauty reaches heights of up to 500 feet before gracefully descending back to Earth with the help of an 18-inch parachute. Constructed with top-quality Estes body tubes, precision laser-cut wood fins, a molded plastic nose cone, and easy-to-apply self-adhesive decals, assembling your Bertha becomes a satisfying afternoon project. In just one afternoon, your Bertha will be ready for an exciting adventure at the launch site!
