I want to buy pre built 29mm rockets that are previously owned and launched or better yet prebuilt 29mm rockets that have not been launched. Also I would like to buy any new 29mm rocket kits or rockets you started to build and just never finished it. PLEASE NO ROCKETS THAT A DAMAGED IN ANY WAY...

I've been doing some research on this, one of my favorite rockets, for quite a while. And I've compiled the information from the catalogs in which it appeared (1970-1983). Also included is some info from the instructions I've sourced. The Astron Cherokee-D was introduced in 1970, the year...

I received an e-mail from Internet Archive Newsletter today that 55 old Estes catalogues have been uploaded to their website for all to peruse.

Hello fellow rocketeers, I am new to the forum here and I was wondering if anyone had a pdf file of the Estes Partizon fin? I’m looking to scratch build one but I don’t have a clean copy of the fin. If no was has one, is there a good resource online to find one? Thanks, Reid

Hey there everyone, I'm looking for an altitude chart of how high the estes alpha will fly (assuming no wind) On different estes motors. I'm trying to get as close to 240 ft as possible on an estes single use motor, and I have no idea which one to use. I know it's random, but here it is. Thanks!

The owner of Estes gives you the chance to bring one model rocket back into production. It has to be a previous release of an Estes model rocket but can be an upscale or downscale of the original design. What would you choose? If it sells really well, you will be given a choice to bring back...

Hi everyone! So I have a bag full of estes ignitors and plugs that have not been used. I have read a ton of stories of them being crappy, and when I tried myself by hooking the leads to a controller, seemed very weak. Videos I've seen seem to show the Estes Igniters take a bit of time till it...

Hi everyone! I have decided to do a TVC hold down test recently which resulted in a CATO failure of the E 12-4 motor. The notorius Estes E-12 motors! I have gotten a ton of data from this test (especially the high speed footage) and can't wait to do more tests soon after I finish another TVC...

Howdy gents, I just listed some very interesting and rare old birds to my Ebay. Please have look if you're interested. Estes Bomarc https://www.ebay.com/itm/264487834483 Centuri E.S.S. Raven (Super Kit) https://www.ebay.com/itm/264487801675 Centuri V2 1/40th scale...

In search of an Estes U.S.S. Andromeda. I am not interested in reproductions, only original Estes kit.

So, I am going to attempt a 4 inch version of an Estes protostar. I absolutely love the lines of this rocket, and want to build a steampunk upscale. However, I am in need of a 1:1 scan of the fin profile. If anyone could help me out, I’d appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Just for fun, two similarly sized BT60 classic model rockets, which one do you like better?

Estes is doing a lot of cool things, even more so with the new ownership. With that being said, if Estes wants more of my money then - 1) Bring back the classics with some sort of twist - upscale, different decals, larger motor mount, etc. I love the Cherokee E with the different color decals...

Wanted to post a build thread on Toby's (Big_Red_Daddy on the forum) cloned Mega Der Red max kits. He's doing them in both 29mm and 38mm flavors and since I already have the Estes one with the 29mm, I got this one with the 38mm. (more fun right!?) I also got the optional nosecone bulkplate for...

Hey All- After completing my Airborne Surveillance Missile. I wanted something to slowly work on over the Summer. I thought to take a break from the "Cosmic-Fantasy-Space-Plane" M.O. and go for a "real" looking rocket. After I opened this kit I thought it would be fun (for me anyway) to do a...

Hey all- This weekend was a no-go on any launching so I finished up my Estes Airborne Surveillance Missile. I just wanted to post a photo of the finished product and let folks know I think this is a fine 13mm kit. It was fun to build. I also like I don't have to cram a chute in a tube the size...

Went to a local small private owned dry lake in Lucerne Ca. back in early 2015. I launched my Estes BLU-97B Cluster Bomb on Estes C6-3 engine and again on C6-5 engine and probably not in that order. I was new to the whole rocket filming back then. I left out the set of cluster bombs that it came...

I am going to offer this vintage kit to you all on the Forum first. It is an old Estes Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Starter set produced about 1977 by Estes. There are very minor wear signs but it is sealed in the original cellophane. I am sure shipping will be over $20.00, as it will be...

Hey there, I'm new to the forums and had a question for ya'll. I flew basic rockets from Estes when I was younger but now that I'm getting back into it, I was thinking about picking up the Estes Pro Series 11 Prowler. I wanted a rocket that goes high, and it advertises 3,000 ft with the...

Got a Redstone kit for xmas and I'm looking forward to putting it together. Anything to do or to avoid to make the kit better? It says it'll do 200' on a C motor. That's...awfully low. Is that accurate? If it *is*, that's actually kinda good - I have a fairly small flying field. Does it take...
