You'll need a launch pad with I believe a 3/16" launch rod. Motor, we use a C11-5. Motor ingiters, recovery wadding, glue for rocket assembly and of course the controller that sends the electrical signal to the igniter that ingnites the rocket motor itself.

Its in the item description "Glue, Estes engines and launch supplies, including a 3/16" (5 mm) Maxi Launch Rod, also required - sold separately" I would buy a starter kit that comes with a launch pad and all you would need is an engine. A lot cheaper that buying the items separately.

The "RTF" (ready to fly) indicates that there is a transmitter included. Also included is a Charger and a battery along with some extra parts. I would recommend you pick up some extra high capacity batteries to allow some extra flight time along with 4 AA batteries for the charger, but you don't need anything more than what is included in the box to get you started.

you can buy a full kit (Rocket already together , Lauching pad and and ignition control with wire ) on line with everything except the engine packs you buy separately.

If you order this rocket with a kit, the kit comes with a launch pad and rod. If not, the rod you need is 3/16", and a launch pad. The engines are the large C's or the D's. I bought another rocket that came with a kit (launch pad and rod), that is the way to get started. BTW, this is my favorite rocket...enjoy!

Body tube, nose cone, recovery chute, tail fins, decals, misc small parts, and instructions for assembly. You need to buy separately: paint, glue, engines, wadding and launcher.

Yes, you need a transmitter, but this is in now way a beginner's plane, it's a 3D plane, which means it's capable of sophisticated stunts. It has very jerky controls. I would recommend getting either an Air Hogs plane (if they are young) or something such as a Hobbyzone Champ or Mini Super Cub.

You need to purchase the kit that matches the rocket model. The kit contains the engine pack includes ignitors, plugs and recovery wadding.On the rocket box sometimes it will tell u all of the parts that u need to buy.

You'll need to purchase a steering servo, 2-channel radio, battery (7.2V with Tamiya connector) and a charger. You'll also need a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Yes, you must buy engines, launch pad and electronic ignition for the engines. The d size engines are perfect for the big Bertha but you must launch in an large open field and best on a day with no wind.

I just spoke with someone at SpinMaster (the parent company of Air Hogs) and they confirmed that replacement rockets are not availble. I'm headed out to pickup a Stomp Rocket system as there are numerous replacements available for those.

The launch system (the button apparatus and wiring...they're yellow in the picture) don't work. You need to get replacements or have your own if you want these rockets to launch!

No pump is included. Make sure that you have the type of pump they refer to otherwise it is difficult to launch the rocket. If you get it right the rocket is awesome. Great fun

I think you mean a transmitter. Yes, you need to buy a transmitter (radio) if you don't have a transmitter from another E-flite flyer.

I bought my Flame Wheel 550 @ (Atlanta Hobby.com). They are great about answering your questions etc. I bought the frame kits @ Amazon because the frame arms fit all brands that I know of that stile and was a good price. You can go on their site and look at the quad copter and see what kind of motors etc. to use or call them.You can buy the DJI V2 auto pilot which makes flying it a breeze for the controlling system. It will carry a gopro of other action camera easily.

You need to purchase the rod, and the engine separately. I strongly recommend getting a model F engine. Aerotech F24-4T (Google it). The rocket will launch FAR. It will disappear from view, and take 7-8 minutes to come down.You can go to Lowest/Home Depot or your local hardware store, and pickup a 3/16 steel rod that is about 4' long. Stick it securely in the ground, and you can launch your rocket from there. The rod is only there to prop the rocket up straight, and to guide it during the first 1-2' of movement.

You'll need a processor (you can see the full list of compatible processors on Shuttle's website), you'll need memory, and you'll need a hard drive. You may also want a DVD drive if you want to use DVDs/CDs to load your operating system, etc. (I use USB for this)If you need a serial connection, you will also need to purchase a DB9 connector. The motherboard is equipped with a COM1 port, but the case does not come with a DB9 connector for it.
