Alpha Model Rocket Kit (EST1225)

Estes Alpha Rocket Kit is a classic entry-level model rocket designed for new rocketeers seeking a straightforward, dependable flyer. With easy assembly and quality components, it’s an ideal way to learn the basics—sanding, painting, and flight prep—while building confidence with a real rocket.

When powered by a C engine, the Alpha can reach about 1,000 feet on a typical launch, and it recovers with a 12-inch parachute for a friendly, forgiving return. The kit’s timeless red, white and blue decals add a patriotic touch, and its classroom- and hobby-friendly design makes it a popular choice for STEM activities and hobbyists alike who want to start a fleet with different paint schemes.
