001756 - Alpha® Bulk Pack (12 pk)

Quick Overview
Skill Level 1

The Alpha is the quintessential rocket to use to teach model
rocketry! For over 36 years, the Estes Alpha has been the first
rocket for millions of model rocket enthusiasts and it still is!
This Estes original is the most-used rocket for schools and youth
groups around the world. The Alpha?s got all you need in one
sleek design, so no wonder it?s the most popular educational
rocket we have!

The Alpha?s simply the best rocket, bar none, for beginners and
experienced student rocketeers. It?s 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
Estes Electron Launch Controller and the Porta-Pad II Launch Pad
that are sold separately. Your students deserve the best - the
Alpha!
