Review Summary

The reviews highlight a unique two-stage design with a payload section that is visually appealing and performs well, achieving impressive altitudes of over 1,600 to 2,000 feet depending on motor choice. Assembly is generally straightforward and suitable for older children or scouts, though some parts like the tail cone can be tricky, and attention to finishing details like sanding and painting is recommended for optimal results. A minor issue with a decal sheet was quickly resolved by customer service.

Awesome 2 stager

By: MALBAR (Athol,Ma)

The Estes Hyper Bat is a unique 2 stage design with a payload section that looks cool on the shelf as well as the launch pad. The rocket went together quickly and without any real gotchas. the only tricky part is the tail cone, but if you take your time it will come out perfect. The only con I had with this kit was that the date stamp went through the image on the decal sheet. A quick e-mail to Estes customer service and a new decal sheet was on it's way!

Great Kit for Cub Scouts who want a more challenging kit

By: dteal

Our scout pack recently completed our annual rocket launch. Several older scouts (4th grade) wanted a more challenging kit than the skill level 1 bulk kits we usually get. The Hyper Bat was challenging enough with out being overly complicated. Many of the scouts completed the build with out direct help from the adults.

Your kids will love it!!

By: jnelli1781

My kids called it the bat-rocket and loved firing it. We used a C6-0 and C6-7 and this rocket easily went over 1600 feet! It was easy to build with my boys and a blast to launch. Highly recommended.
