Description

The Estes Alpha III rocket bulk pack contains 12 rocket kit packets with
materials and instructions required to assemble the rocket. It is recommended
for children 10 years and older with adult supervision up to age 12. The
orange plastic nose cone, body tube, one-piece plastic tail fin unit, and
self-stick decals allow assembly of the rocket without painting. Additional
equipment and supplies are required to launch the rocket, including launch
system, model rocket engines, starters, recovery wadding, and glue (all sold
separately). This rocket bulk pack has 12 individual packets, which allows
each child to experience assembling and launching (with required components)
the rocket and is suitable for youth group activities such as with clubs and
schools.SpecificationsSkill levelEasy to Assemble (E2X), simple gluing, no

equipment and single-use launching supplies. These kits are recommended for
children 10 years and older, with adult supervision advised to age 12. Rocket
kit assembly encompasses a range of skill levels—from Easy-to-Assemble (E2X),
requiring only simple gluing and less than an hour of time—to Level 5,
requiring multi-step assembly with measuring, cutting, gluing, and painting
tasks. Reusable rocket kit components include a cone, a body tube, and a
recovery parachute. A rocket engine, a starter, and recovery wadding are used
once. Rocket engines come in a variety of sizes, time delays, and burn
durations. A “first-flight” engine recommendation is generally made for each
rocket kit. A launch pad has a stable base and a vertical rod that provide
vertical stability during initial liftoff. A launch controller has a keyed
ignition switch to prevent accidental ignition, and a cable provides a safe
distance from the rocket during launch. Bulk packs of model rocket kits are
available for clubs and schools, and allow groups of children to experience
building and launching a rocket.Estes manufactures model rocket kits,
launching equipment, and rocket engines. The company, founded in 1958, is
headquartered in Penrose, CO.
