    Scratch Build - Upscaled 3-in "Menace-3D"

    Intro: Over on another thread in the 3D Printing section, there's a friendly competition going on: TRF Challenge #1: Estes Menace and I thought this would be a great opportunity to push myself to learn more Fusion 360. I started back in March 2023 to 3D print small parts, and started...

    Estes sent me the wrong tube??? (Vesta Intruder build issue)

    Hey All, So, I'm building the Vesta Intruder for my 3 year old for Xmas (he's been talking about this rocket all year). I'm to the step where you put the 12 ribs on. Based on the instructions, they should be flush with the top of the tube and should have a little bit of clearance between the...

    Estes Mercury Redstone build/update

    Hello since my last post I been really hooked, decided to try building a scale Mercury Redstone from Estes and so far it’s going together great! But I realized I may have made a mistake. I put together the entire capsule and tower without painting it. My first thoughts were maybe the glue...

    Getting back into Rocketry

    Hello when I was a kid I had an uncle that built 100s of rockets, he got me into it along with everything in the hobby world plans, trains, RC, you name it. Anyway i needed something to keep me sane so i ordered a Estes Bull Pup 12D a rocket I had memory of as a 8 year old. I’m 24 now. Anyway I...

    Project Overkill Build log (Estes #9716 Star Orbiter)

    Back in 2022 Estes had a Black Friday sale and I picked up the Estes Star Orbiter (https://estesrockets.com/products/star-orbiter) for pretty cheap and it came with an adapter and some engines. After reading Leo's terrific thread...

    Estes Mako Upscale

    So I've finally gotten around to starting this build... A pic of my current config for the LOC version of the Mako. And this finished printing about 45 minutes ago. A 20+ hour print. The right half of the Ring Fin mold. I will use the mold to fiberglass the cardboard ring fin.

    Hello fellow rocketry peoples!

    Hello everybody. I've been into rocketry since 1998ish. My first kit was an estes Mighty Mites set and that was the gateway for me! I've recently gotten the rocket bug again and from the pictures you can definitely tell. I'm currently around the Okeechobee Florida area closer to Ft Myers...

    Super Star Orbiter: Two Stage conversion

    Having a morning unexpectedly free, I kicked around some ideas for a project I’ve had in mind forever: a booster for my Estes Star Orbiter. To that end, I spent this morning fiddling with some of the components to figure out how it would be spaced out and put together, and got some pictures as...

    I recreated the Artemis I launch using the Estes SLS (Video)

    Way back before Artemis I launch attempt #1, I took some high-speed shots of my Estes SLS. Now that NASA (finally) launched the real Artemis I, I synced up the launch audio with the shots I filmed of my model rocket version. Enjoy! And of course NASA had to launch at night... whatever, I guess...

    Estes Greyhawk Upscale

    So, for some reason I have fallen in love with the idea of building an upscale version of the Estes Greyhawk (#2068). I know, I know, I am quite new to this, but... Anyways, I downloaded a trial version of RockSim and I am watching the videos, but then I started looking for a RockSim file for...

    Estes E-12-9 CATO

    Saturday morning, a beautiful Michigan morning, a good friend of mine loaded 2 Estes E-12-9 motors in to his rocket, I have witnessed fly several times with great flights. On this instance both engimes lit and at aprox. 1/2 way up the rod, the rocket experienced a rapid disassembly. The bottom...

    Estes Mercury Redstone Building Log

    Good Morning all, Yesterday it finally happened. Cut open the bag and off we went. The instructions want you to build the capsule first, but I decided to start with the bottom part of the rocket. The fins were cut out and glued together quickly, although I have to say that I've seen better...

    Is this controller going to work?

    We’re gearing up for our first rocket launch, and I wanted to test our Estes launch controller, so I got out my voltmeter. I figured I’d probably see zero volts across the clips until I had both the key in and the button down, at which point I’d see around 6-7 V and a light. That is not what...

    Estes Saturn V, Quintuple Cluster, Staged

    I imagine someone has posed this idea before, and I know this would be a mess, but maybe a fun mess. I have an extra Estes Saturn V Skylab (main body tube is a bit squished), but the Skylab vs Apollo doesn't much matter here. What I want to do, because I can (try), is modify it to be a cluster...
