The Estes Alpha has introduced many millions to model rocketry since its introduction more than 35 years ago. Easy-to-build, the Alpha looks great and flies great.
The Alpha is a classic Skill Level 1 kit. It includes a one-piece body tube, laser-cut wood fins, and an aerodynamic nose cone.
Building the Alpha takes about an afternoon. When powered with a C engine, the rocket can reach altitudes of 1,000 feet. Recovery is accomplished with a colorful 12-inch preassembled parachute.
