The Alpha III is the best rocket to use with new Estes rocketeers. This E2X – Easy to Assemble rocket has a one-piece plastic fin unit that makes building it almost foolproof. This cool, black and orange Estes favorite is a reliable, high-performance rocket for kids of all ages.
Alpha III is our most popular beginning level rocket. Its the E2X – Easy to Assemble version of the classic Estes Alpha rocket. No painting and no modeling experience required for this one. This jet black rocket has a bright orange plastic nose cone and fin unit that make for easy, quick assembly. Finishing the Alpha III is a breeze with the self-stick decals.
Youll need the Electron Beam Launch Controller and the Porta-Pad II Launch Pad to launch this favorite. Alpha III uses standard Estes engines (A, B, or C engines) for propellant and is recovered with a 12 inch parachute. If you want outstanding performance flight after flight, the Alpha III is it!
