Haven't flown this one yet. **Q: Do i need to buy engines and a launch pad for this?** A: Yep! Kit only contains the rocket. Look for a good starter set that has launch pad, launch controller, and probably another rocket with engines thrown in. The interceptor is a semi-heavy rocket. So try a B6-4 or C6-3. You don't want much delay time before the ejection charge or she'll be screaming back down to earth before the chute gets out. **Q: What engines do i buy for this rocket? It shows c6-7 but customer service said c6-3???** A: Hi Jamie, this is a high performance rocket, after engine burn-out the rocket still has a lot of vertical velocity. If the chute deploys too early, you run the risk of detatching the chute from the rocket. The optimum time for chute deployment is at the moment of apogee, when the rocket is essentially at a stand-still. My recommendation is to stick with a C6-7. Observe the chute deployment, if the rocket passes apogee for an appreciable time before deployment, then you may consider a shorter delay time. But for this rocket, I think a C6-3 is too short of a delay time. Maybe a C6-5 might be something to consider. Short answer, C6-7 at first. I hope this helps. Tom **Q: What specific launch pad do i buy for this rocket?** A: Porta-Pad II launch pad and launch controller. Estes part number 2222. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality as expected *by T***D on 2 November 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Challenging and well worth the effort build. *by M***I on 2 March 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make sure you follow directions and glue everything the way it shows you on the directions *by A***. on 31 December 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Estes 1250 Interceptor Flying Model Rocket Kit for 12 years old and up with Adult Supervision for under 12 - MDL RCKT ENGNS 3PC C6-5 - Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/549887974-1250-interceptor-flying-model-rocket-kit](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/549887974-1250-interceptor-flying-model-rocket-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
