Estes Super Shot
EST 1449

This was my first rocket. I bought it as a starter set that came with another rocket called the twister, but I lost the parts to the twister.

The Super Shot is no longer flying because over time it's engine holder was destroyed, and since it was one of those plastic ones, I couldn't replace it. It has now been torn apart and used for scrap pieces.
