Super Salamander™

Four Engines. One Unforgettable Liftoff. There is something different about a cluster launch. The moment four 18 mm engines ignite together, the Super Salamander turns an ordinary countdown into an event. Built for rocketeers ready to move beyond single-engine flights, this advanced Estes model rocket delivers the sound, smoke, and launch field presence that make clustered engine rockets so exciting to fly. Big Rocket Presence from Pad to Peak At 36.9 inches tall with a substantial 2.6 inch diameter body, the Super Salamander looks impressive before the countdown even begins. Once launched, its four-engine cluster can send it climbing to altitudes of up to 920 feet, creating a powerful flight that is easy to follow from the ground and hard to ignore on the range. It is the kind of rocket that naturally becomes the centerpiece of a launch day. A Rewarding Challenge for Advanced Builders The Super Salamander is made for modelers who enjoy the build as much as the flight. Laser cut balsa wood fins provide the foundation for a precise, hands-on construction experience, while the four-engine cluster configuration introduces another level of preparation and attention to detail. The result is a substantial 7 ounce rocket that rewards careful craftsmanship with an entirely different kind of launch experience. Choose Your Four-Engine Cluster The Super Salamander is built around the unmistakable excitement of clustered engine flight. Its four 18 mm engine mounts give you a wide range of recommended configurations, from matched sets using four identical engines to mixed clusters that combine two pairs of different engines.

Always follow the engine preparation, launch system, and safety instructions included with your rocket and Estes engines. Built for Launches You Will Want to Repeat After reaching peak altitude, the Super Salamander returns beneath an 18 inch parachute for recovery and another opportunity to prepare for flight. Compatible with Estes A8-3, B6-4, C5-3, and C6-5 engines, it gives experienced rocketeers multiple flight options as they explore the performance of a four-engine cluster. Launch the Super Salamander from a Porta-Pad E Launch Pad and get ready for a countdown that feels bigger from the moment you press the button. For anyone looking to add size, complexity, and true multi-engine excitement to their rocket collection, the Super Salamander is a challenge worth taking on.
