• SOARS UP TO 1,800 FT.: Our 2092 Mongoose rocket model uses a booster engine to kick it off the launch pad and then uses a standard engine to achieve higher altitudes. It features a 26-inch height and can soar to an altitude of 1,800 ft. (548 m) using a C6-7 Estes rocket engine (sold separately). It is also compatible with A8-3, A8-5, B4-4, B6-0, B6-4, B6-6, C6-0, and C6-5 rocket engines.

• SAFETY FIRST, FUN ALWAYS: Our rockets are designed to be used with the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code. Always ensure you have an appropriate launch site, stand back at least 15 ft., insert the safety key, issue a countdown, and then you can let your rocket fly!

The Estes Mongoose is the perfect first time building and flying experience for a newbie who wants to try their hand at flying a two stage rocket.A two stage rocket has two sections of the rocket with the engines stacked or staged one on top of the other. The lower or first stage contains a booster engine that kicks the rocket off the launch pad, and the upper or second stage has a standard engine inserted into it for extreme flight altitude.Recovery is usually by parachute or Streamer. The action is always hot when flying a staged rocket! The Mongoose can be flown as a single stage rocket or add a booster engine and watch this beast soar to astonishing heights of over 1, 800 feet.Standing over 26 inches tall, this highflying rocket will descend back to earth on a colorful preassembled parachute.
