Consumer Critiques

Estes' Alpha rocket is perhaps the perfect 1st rocket that a model rocket hobbiest can build and fly.
The Alpha is painless to create (very simple design, flies straight and true, and is durable. It can be used with a wide variety of rocket engines for short flights or truly extended high flights.
Building and flying the Alpha teaches the basics of rocket style and how a rocket operates. It is a low cost and fun entrance ticket to model rocketry.
Very suggested.

This is the classic Model Rocket. The type exactly where you cut out the balsa wood fins and glue them onto the rocket. It is a superior choice if you are a beginner to the hobby due to the fact the rocket itself is small and fairly durable. It should certainly be able to endure a number of launches and even crashes without any predicament. Becoming little and light also means that it will launch pretty high into the air and it is simply an over 1,000 feet rocket. Nice spot to start off due to the fact you get a regular appear at constructing a hobby rocket and you get a durable high flyer. My 1st launch with this rocket had a bad parachute deployment and it came streaming down fast yet it survived the crash intact. Sturdy small rocket.
Note that if you are an absolute beginner to this hobby you are also going to want some other items to go with this. You have to have a launch pad with controller Porta-Pad E launch pad Estes Rockets, engines Estes B6-four Rocket Engine (Pack of 3), and recovery wadding Recovery Wadding.
