Overview
A nose cone, a body tube and a recovery parachute make up each of the twelve Alpha III kits in this bulk pack. The kits are easy to build and aimed at school classrooms, science clubs and youth groups. Water-based paint is the stated paint type.
One pack sets up a whole class or a rocket party, and each rocket takes about an hour to build. Launch gear, engines, starters, wadding and batteries have to be added, and one pad serves everyone only one launch at a time.
Who it's for
Classrooms, science clubs and youth groups can hand every builder a kit from one purchase. Individual hobbyists, or anyone who wants a complete set with pad and engines, should buy a single launch set.
Pros and cons
- Twelve kits in one pack
- Easy beginner build
- Parachute recovery included
- Suited to groups and classes
- Engines sold separately
- Launch pad and controller sold separately
- Building supplies needed
- One launch pad for twelve rockets
Performance notes
Each rocket flies on a compatible Estes engine and returns by parachute. A single Porta-Pad II and controller handle launches one at a time, so group sessions run in sequence. The safety code distances apply at every launch.
