Pro Series II™ Pink Flamingo™

A Bold Rocket for Hands-On STEM Launch Experiences

The Pro Series II™ Pink Flamingo™ is built for programs that want more than a basic launch activity, while still keeping the experience approachable for new rocketeers. Its tall 59 inch profile, bright pink design, and Pro Series II performance make it an exciting centerpiece for advanced rocketry lessons, club launches, camp demonstrations, and youth organization events where students are ready to explore bigger flights and more complex launch decisions.

This rocket is especially well suited for instructors who want to connect the excitement of model rocketry with real STEM concepts. Engine selection, projected altitude, recovery planning, launch equipment, and configuration choices can all become part of the learning experience. The Pink Flamingo gives students a rocket they will remember, while giving leaders a flexible platform for meaningful discussions before and after liftoff.

Teach Flight Variables With Real Launch Choices

In its standard single stage configuration, the Pink Flamingo flies on Estes E16-6 or F15-6 engines and can reach projected altitudes up to 1,000 feet. That makes it a strong option for advanced launch activities where students can compare engine performance, observe flight behavior, and discuss how thrust, weight, drag, and recovery timing affect the overall flight profile.

The rocket measures 59 inches long, has a 2 inch diameter, and weighs approximately 11 ounces. Recovery is handled by an 18 inch parachute, giving students a complete view of the launch cycle from countdown and liftoff to coast, deployment, descent, and recovery. For programs that track flight data or compare predicted performance to real-world results, the Pink Flamingo creates a memorable and highly visible subject.

Expand the Lesson With Adapter-Supported Engine Options

When paired with the 24 mm to 29 mm Engine Adapter, the Pink Flamingo can also use select 24 mm engines, including D12-3 and E12-4 single stage options. This gives instructors another way to demonstrate how different engine choices can change altitude, field requirements, and the overall launch experience.

That flexibility can be especially useful for educational groups working with different field sizes, learning objectives, or student experience levels. A lower-altitude flight can support observation and recovery practice, while higher-performance configurations can help demonstrate how changes in engine selection create measurable changes in flight outcome.

Introduce Multi-Stage Rocketry With the Pro Series II Booster

For groups ready to explore staging, the Pink Flamingo can be paired with the Pro Series II™ E2X® Booster. This opens the door to multi-stage flight configurations and gives students a more advanced look at how a booster engine and upper-stage engine work together to extend altitude and create a more dynamic flight profile.

With the booster added, the Pink Flamingo can reach up to 1,775 feet using an F15-0 to F15-6 configuration. Other multi-stage options allow instructors to compare different engine pairings, including configurations that use the 24 mm to 29 mm Engine Adapter. For advanced STEM programs, this makes the Pink Flamingo a strong teaching tool for performance planning, sequencing, and launch-day decision making.

Built for Organized Launch Days

The Pink Flamingo is designed for use with the Pro Series II™ Launch Pad or Pro Series II™ Launch Rail. It can be launched from a 1/4 inch launch rod or a Pro Series II launch rail, giving instructors and launch leaders the proper setup for stable, confident flights in larger launch areas.

For educational programs, this rocket offers the kind of launch-day presence that gets students talking before the countdown and asking questions afterward. Whether it is used as a demonstration rocket, an advanced club project, or a centerpiece for a larger STEM activity, the Pro Series II™ Pink Flamingo™ turns flight performance into something students can see, measure, compare, and remember.
