Air Hogs Replacement Rockets: Has anyone tried this?

they don't. They are too small. I just tried some. Guess we have to buy a new launcher too.

Not sure exactly what kind of rocket you're talking about. It doesn't come with anything. My kids just throw it up in the air and it parachutes down. You probably could stuff it in to something that shot it out and it would do the same thing, but we haven't tried it that way.

I would say no but what do I know. 1st ask airline, airport dogs and scans may have fun. Where are you going? They may not like rockets of any kind. Most of Europe sells them at hobby store. Other areas??? I would search for store in area your going. Where oversea are you going? Check ESTES web page. Let me know. Send photos of launch

Theoretically, it should work for other rockets, although I've not tried it on others yet.

The rocket should tell you which rockets you can use with it. There's usually a few options you can use.

I have seen Kieth Warren and The Pig Man both shhot hogs in the head dropping them on the spot at 20 yards with these. A ground hig should be easy Pickens... Just use good shot placement to ensure an ethical kill.

Yes, a B16Y5 - I first tried a 500 ft/lb 1/2 in. Drive, and it laughed at it. The Nitrocat 1200 took it off like butter.

Although I haven't had this specific Estes rocket, they will launch many times (minor repairs may be required if fins or parachute are damaged during landings over time). Your only limit is the number of engines, igniters, and how much wadding you buy (all sold separately).

I have not. Sorry. But they seem to work okay with HD standard tires, with the exception that thee might be some very small (5 PSI over a year's time) of air leakage through these sensors.

We had the Advanced pad and it lasted a good two years, the more they left it outside the worse it got of course. But overall I felt this held up to the constant jumping to launch the rockets and the rockets went very high!

As far as I can tell the answer is Yes. My grandson in the guy using it and I know that he has shot off two different brands of rockets.

It will be time consuming but I think it will work. I blew up quite a few and it did a great job. The balloons won't float like Helium filled ones but I used sticky tac and stuck them to the ceiling that way with curling ribbon tails hanging down. You could order two pumps and have another person help you blow them up.

Yes it sure it. When I installed them on a small razor pocket rocket, they worked but didn't seem like they had the power the originals did. Still work though and my boy has a good time with it.

Great question. My grandson and I flew the rocket approximately 6 times, after a couple of our own modifications (not having a bicycle pump, I hooked my truck's portable air compressor to the rocket, along with an additional 25 foot small diameter plastic tube extension (I found this at a garage sale for ?? $0.50 - new)). The rocket flew well, but, in the process, we broke one fin and cracked a second fin. Now I need new fins! I thought about calling the company and asking them for a dozen replacement fins, if the cost was not too prohibitive. I haven't contacted them yet, but I will. Otherwise, the rocket is grounded. Let me know if you have any luck and I will follow through on my call. I'll post any results of my call on my updated customer feedback sheet. Thanks for submitting your question.

The launch pad that came in my kit was different than that pictured here. It is a little "lighter" in build quality than I would have liked but it does work fine. This launch pad can launch many of the common sized rockets. If you are chosing to launch one of the heavier or longer rockets than I would definitely upgrade to an appropriate pad for those. As an example, the Mean Machine, a 6foot tall rocket, needs a heavier pad and launch rod. Even a rocket taking a D or E sized engine, I would probably step up to a heavier pad.

Use a rocket blower such as http://www.amazon.com/Giottos-AA1900-Rocket-Blaster-Large/dp/B00017LSPI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383363396&sr=8-1&keywords=rocket+blower

No, they are to small. I did not like them with airguns as they did not shatter well, they just chipped away or just had a hole in them with even higher powered air rifles.
