7310 ANTAR

Advanced Skill
(Formerly Skill Level 2)

DESCRIPTION

Harry Stine (NAR#02) is known as the Father of Model Rocketry
and founder of the National Association of Rocketry. One of the
original pioneers that founded the hobby right alongside Vern
Estes, Stine was also a talented writer. This Estes Designer
Signature Series kit is a faithful reproduction crafted by Estes
designers from many sketches Stine created as well as the actual
original model which is from the personal collection of Estes
Vice President Bill Stine (who happens to be Harry?s son). Antar
was not designed as a flying model rocket because in 1951 the
hobby didn?t exist yet! Stine was a physicist and clearly
understood the science of flight, so even though Antar was a
fictional vehicle, the science behind it meant it could actually
be stable in flight.
