The Mega Mosquito™ celebrates one of the most legendary rockets in model rocketry history. This limited edition kit pairs the original Mosquito™ with its larger sibling, the Mega Mosquito, giving you a chance to build and fly two rockets that showcase the enduring appeal of this classic design.
Inside the box you will find two complete rockets to assemble and launch. The original Mosquito returns exactly as fans remember it, while the Mega Mosquito delivers the same bold presence that made it a favorite among experienced rocketeers. With its wide 2.6 inch airframe, laser cut balsa fins, and striking yellow and black finish, the Mega Mosquito looks impressive on the pad and even better climbing into the sky.
Two Rockets, Two Unique Flight Experiences
This kit gives you the opportunity to build and fly two rockets that deliver completely different launch experiences. The original Mosquito flies on mini engines such as the 1/4A3-3T, 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T, or A10-3T. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller launch fields and quick turnaround flights that keep the excitement going.
When you are ready for more power, load the Mega Mosquito with a D12-5, E12-4, or E12-6 engine and watch it roar skyward to heights of up to 750 feet. Its larger airframe, sturdy construction, and 18 inch parachute recovery system combine for thrilling liftoffs and smooth, dependable recoveries.
Designed for Builders Who Enjoy the Process
The Mega Mosquito is designed for intermediate builders who enjoy the hands on process of crafting a rocket from start to finish. Precision laser cut balsa fins provide strength and accuracy while allowing you to shape, sand, and finish the rocket yourself.
The roomy airframe makes assembly comfortable and rewarding as you apply primer, paint, and the signature yellow and black graphics. Every step of the build adds to the satisfaction of seeing your rocket come together and prepares you for the moment it leaves the pad for its first flight.
A Tribute to an Estes Favorite
The Mosquito has earned its place as one of the most recognizable rockets ever created. This limited edition kit honors that legacy by pairing the tiny original with the impressive Mega Mosquito so you can experience both ends of the design in one package.
Whether you are revisiting a rocket you flew years ago or discovering the Mosquito family for the first time, this kit delivers a memorable building experience and exciting launches that celebrate the enduring spirit of model rocketry.
