​Wanted to buy Estes (K-56) Astron Alpha III #1256
This was the first rocket I had ever built when I was 7 with my grandfather. I came across the Estes Field Operations Range Kit that it came with in my basement, but the rocket was M.I.A. Just looking to bring back those memories with him.

If anyone has an Alpha III they're willing to let go at a reasonable price, please let me know.

Thanks for your time,

Randy Weber

This was my first rocket as a kid, too. I've looked, but haven't been able to find an original kit. So I did the next best thing - upscale!

FOUND: Thanks for people's replies, but I got lucky today and was able to find the original Estes Alpha III today and to top it off I found it unused, new OOP as the original Field Operations Kit that it came with, as that's the original setup I had as a 7 year old new rocket enthusiast. A big thanks to MegaHobby.com
