Destination Mars Leaper Model Rocket Kit (EST7297)

Introducing the Destination Mars Leaper Beginner Rocket Kit, officially known as the LAMPMU – Low Altitude Mars Personal Maneuvering Unit, affectionately nicknamed “The Leaper.†Developed for the first Mars Expedition of 2035, this exciting jetpack-style rocket offers a fun and innovative way to explore the skies. Mission Commander Grace Henry's enthusiastic response during its inaugural flight highlights its unique design and exhilarating performance.

This easy-to-assemble kit is a fantastic addition to the Estes Destination Mars collection, crafted from durable EPP foam for maximum resilience. As a prefinished rocket, it requires no gluing, sanding, or painting, allowing you to prepare for launch in mere minutes. Simply insert the stabilizer rods, and your Leaper is ready to wow friends and family. Its featherweight recovery system allows for gentle landings without the need for a parachute or streamer, ensuring a hassle-free experience for beginners.

The Leaper can reach impressive altitudes of up to 75 ft., providing a thrilling experience without being too difficult to track. Ideal for small flying fields, this rocket utilizes the recommended Estes A10-0T engine for launch. With no engine hook required, simply use masking tape for a secure friction fit. When the engine ejects at apogee, the Leaper rights itself and lands safely on its tripod legs, making it ready for another flight after each successful mission.

Experience the joy of rocketry and embark on your own Mars survey missions with the Destination Mars Leaper Beginner Rocket Kit, where adventure awaits just beyond the clouds.
