EstesBlue Origin New Shepard 2198 | Beginner Level

This flying rocket model is an excellent replica of Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket for launching space tourists. Standing about 12 inches long and made from sturdy plastic (unlike the standard cardboard tube for most rocket models), it comes with a set of removable clear plastic fins for stability when flown. Also included is the recovery parachute. Launchpad and controller sold separately.However this model is actually nice enough to be displayed and also comes with a display base. Which is exactly how I use it (I may get another New Shepard later on, just FOR flying). Whether this model is flown or displayed, it's a nice addition to anyone's collection.

I've always enjoyed launching Estes model rockets ever since I was a kid I chose this rocket because it's preassembled.I'll have my first opportunity to launch it next week at at my Compeer event. I have to make sure I have the correct rocket engine. I've already lost rockets in the past due to rocket engines that were to powerful!

Even though this model is meant to be launched, I bought it just to display. It looks easy enough to set up if I did ever want to launch it, but otherwise, it is a great looking model to look at.

It’s really well built rocket!Great to display and for launches. I’ve had 6 launches so far, all success.

Bought this as a collector item. Still in the box
