Blast Off to Learning Fun
In addition to the excitement and entertainment it provides, rocketry also has significant educational value. Model rockets transform kids into amateur rocket scientists, encouraging them to think about how the rockets work. Rocket building teaches kids the basics of propulsion, flight, and aerodynamics, and can help foster an early interest in science and engineering. Skill Level 2 is the first tier of more advanced kits that require beginner skills in model rocket construction, finishing and painting. Quality Estes body tubes, laser cut wood fins, molded plastic nose cone and waterslide decals make experience necessary to build this Skill Level 2 kit but the end result is worth the effort.

Mission Control
The Big Daddy requires a Porta-Pad E and E Launch Controller as well as Estes engines for the launch (not included). Estes C11-3, D12-3, D12-5 or E9-6 engines are recommended for all missions. Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly. Tools, construction and finishing supplies sold separately. In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters, recovery wadding and four 'AA' alkaline batteries are required – sold separately unless otherwise specified. Read all instructions before beginning. Make sure you have all parts and supplies required. Test fit all parts before applying glue. Sand as necessary for precision assembly. Product color and shape may vary. When launching, stand back as far as the launch controller cord will allow (15 feet). Rocketry is not intended for indoor use. Choose a large field (500 feet), free of dry weeds and brown grass. Launch only with little or no wind and good visibility.

What's In The Box?
Estes body tubes, laser cut wood fins, molded plastic nose cone, waterslide decals, 24 inch preassembled parachute and instructions.



You will get hours of building fun with the rocket construction, finishing and painting needed to complete this impressive Skill Level 2 kit.

Added comfort for someone working night shifts
I work odd hours, so my sleep schedule is all over the place. My mattress has always felt a bit too stiff after long shifts, so I got this topper hoping it would help me relax faster. It really changed the overall feel of the bed. The padding has a cushioned lift that makes lying down feel smoother, especially around the shoulders and lower back. Instead of feeling like I’m dropping onto a firm surface, there’s a soft layer that evens out the pressure. What surprised me most is how light the surface feels. Even after staying in one position, it never gets stuffy or heavy. The airflow makes a difference when your body is trying to wind down after work. The fitted pocket also stays tight around the mattress, so nothing shifts when I move. I can stretch out without worrying about the topper sliding off.

Good option for softening a college apartment bed
I moved into a college apartment where the bed felt like it belonged in a dorm from years ago—flat and stiff. Instead of dealing with it, I tried this topper, and it added a cushiony layer right away. The surface feels much more forgiving when I fall onto the bed after studying or hanging out with friends. It has just enough padding to take away that board-like feeling without making the bed sag. Another thing I noticed is how breathable it is. I expected something this thick to feel warm, but it actually stays cool even if I stay on one side for a long stretch.

Makes an older family mattress feel brand new
There’s an older mattress in my place that everyone avoids because it feels too worn in the middle. Instead of replacing it, I decided to give this topper a shot. Once it settled on the bed, it added a thick cushioned layer that helped level out the whole surface. Lying down feels smoother, and the middle no longer dips the way it used to. The fabric feels cool when you touch it, and it keeps that same feel even after staying on it for a while. I thought a thick topper might hold warmth, but this one keeps the air moving enough that the bed stays comfortable throughout the night.

Helpful upgrade when staying between short-term housing
Laying it out was quick, and once it settled, the bed instantly felt gentler on the shoulders and hips. The padding feels thick without being bulky, and it molds just enough so that you feel supported without sinking. The airflow is surprisingly good. Even after lying still for long periods, the surface never turns warm or clammy. That was important since the mattress underneath didn’t have much ventilation.

bury me in snuggle sac!!
soo i’ve purchased 6 of the fuzzy blankets, 2 packs of the socks, the cardigan, and now this gem of a cooling blanket! im usually a heavy fluffy blanket person, regardless of season or temperature, but living in florida it’s sometimes a struggle. figured i’d give this one a try since i’m obsessed with snuggle sac. the blanket is very thin, intentionally, and is such a deliciously soft and unique material! the one side is cooling and really cold to the touch! both sides look very rich and high quality. definitely makes a difference so i’m not waking up hot anymore! in order to replicate my heavy blanket habit, i use the snuggle sac ribbed blanket on top of it, and can always remove it in the night. so happy with my purchase! always keeping my eye out for new releases from them.
