I finished building and painting my Estes Sizzler® on November 27, 1998. I launched this rocket the very next day in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Using an Estes C5-3 engine, the Sizzler® soared up into the air and after the kick of its ejection charge, the rear engine pod was ejected and the parachute was deployed. This rocket does not require recovery wadding because of this unique rear ejection system. The rocket returned softly to the ground.
