Product Description

The Alpha is  simply the best rocket, bar none, for beginners and experienced student rocketeers. Its got everything you need- balsa wood fins, molded nose cone, engine mount, parachute recovery and self-stick decals. The Alpha is ideal for illustrating basic rocket stability principles. Besides having an aerodynamic design, it is a very reliable launcher that can use a wide variety of engines. When your students build the Awesome Alpha, they will acquire many new modeling skills and experience teamwork and safety at the launch field. Launch the Alpha with Estes A, B or C engines. For school launches, we recommend using the A8-3 engine so students can see the entire flight profile of the rocket and most importantly, recover their rocket. To launch this rocket, you will need the Porta-Pad II launch pad and Electron Beam launch controller are sold separately. Your students deserve the best - the Alpha! WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD: Scissors, pencil, ruler, fine sandpaper, carpenter’s glue, hobby knife, masking tape, white primer, white paint, red paint, and blue paint. (Tools, construction and finishing supplies not included). WHAT YOU NEED TO LAUNCH (sold separately): Estes model rocket engines, starters and recovery wadding. Four 1.5V high quality AA alkaline batteries are also required for launch controller (not included).

    Bought this for my boy scout troop. The kids (13yr) were able to follow the directions. A good glue is recommended. We tried to use standard elmers glue. Rockets were launched multiple times and kids had a great time.

    These rockets are fairly easy to build and flew as advertised. The boys from my Royal Ranger Outpost (3rd - 5th graders) had a lot of fun building and launching these rockets, while also earning the Rocketry Merit. I recommend them to any Ranger Outpost or Scout Troop.

    My first rocket in the 1960's was an Astron Alpha.
    The design of this model is almost identical to the original. It is a sleek, easy-to-build and high-flying model.
    I bought the bulk pack for a school rocketry class. They came undamaged, and students enjoyed building and flying this rocket. It actually requires careful assembly of the fins, engine mount, launch lug and recovery system. This provides valuable experience.
    My only gripe is that in the interest of internationalizing/simplifying the instructions, they have become somewhat vague and harder to understand than in the past. More detailed directions and larger, clearer illustrations would help beginners.

    Alpha has been the traditional first rocket for many years - it was my first rocket forty years ago, and it hasn't changed much since then. (Plastic nose cone instead of balsa, laser-cut fins instead of cut-your-own, and adhesive stickers instead of waterslide decals.)

    This bulk kit is *much* more economical than the individual rocket kits, if you need more than six or so of them.

    Bought the 12 pack for my class to build after reading Rocket Boys. Even ones with no model building experience got a kick out of doing this. We eschewed the stickers and custom painted them instead. Haven’t flown them, however, due to COVID.
