Batteries for the controller.2) Wadding to keep the parachute from burning.3) Engines with ignitors. B4-4 for smaller areas in town, but it won't go very high. C6-5's for larger areas and good height.4) Glue for the construction. Regular Elmer's is probably too weak, so I'd go with Wood Glue.5) Paint - your choice, obviously. I painted mine in the colors of my favorite NFL team. That paint cost more than the rocket, though! **Q: Will this rocket launch with the launch pad in the 1403 Riptide Launch Set?** A: Yes it will, I have both and use that launcher. **Q: the size engine** A: If built as instructed, it can use 18 mm B (B4, B6) and C engines (C6). "A" engines are too underpowered. **Q: does this kit include the launching frame, or does it need to be purchased separately?** A: Launch equipment is purchased separately. ## Frequently Bought Together - Estes Big Bertha, Yellow - Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding - MDL RCKT ENGNS 3PC C6-5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/58057095-estes-big-bertha-yellow](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/58057095-estes-big-bertha-yellow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
