4Fiber finned throwback  Jul 29, 2005 By William J. Eichelberger "I will not go quietly"
While not anything to write home about in its "straight from the bag" state, the Viking gets good marks from old-timers in the model rocketry hobby because with an extra length of tube and a homemade paper transition, the Viking becomes a "clone" of the legendary Centuri Vector V. As it is, it's a fun little flier capable of big air with small motors. 1/2A6's and A8's will allow it to attain respectable heights on small fields, while B6's and C6's will crank it almost out of sight. All in all, as good a place to start as any.

4My friend's Viking is awesome, but I built it wrong  Aug 18, 2005
This is a good Model rocket, even though mine didn't turn out the way it was supposed to. My friend and I were at an air museum where they sold rockets. We both decided to get this one. My friends one has turned out fine (unlike Mine) and it flies really well. The instructions are a little confusing, though.My mistake happened while I was puting in the engine block. It says put glue 1 1/2 inches into the body tube. That is where I put my engine block even though I was supposed to go further. If you buy this rocket, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5Estes Viking rocket  Nov 05, 2008 By Paul
This is a great starter rocket for ages 8-12 or older if you are into lauching rockets. Beware though if you put the largest motor in this rocket you will more than loose sight of it and just might loose it, but they are economical to replace. Painting is the most difficult part, but other than that it is a blast to build with kids and watch their accomplishment fly.


5AWESOME ROCKET!!!!  Jul 25, 2011
I really liked this rocket. I thought it was pretty durable, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a easy to build, good quality rocket.
