There's a good reason why this has been one of the most popular model rockets for 3 or 4 decades!! It can soar up to 1,000 feet, it's not a hard build, but takes more precision than a 'ready to fly' rocket, and introduces the builder to skills like working with wooden fins, sanding, and painting.

Any idea which replacement nose cones can be purchased for this rocket? Thank you
How is that eject how to make that
Hey man, really loved your video. Thank you for going into details …this is the exact model that was dropped off at my house. I am a father of an eight-year-old and I am absolutely clueless 🤷 about how to even get started! Your video really helped me. Thank you for taking the trouble to go to great lengths in making this video. It’s perfectly well made for a beginner!
I wrapped the parachute too much on a slow fold and the parachute didn’t even deploy lol Luckily I was only using an A8-3 engine and the rocket wasn’t that high up. I think I’ll launch it again for 4th of July
I loved this vid thank you so much, this helped me a ton! Thank you!😃
I can't believe Estes has a rocket named Amazon. I've been ordering from Estes since 1972. It's sad to see them go that low. But I did check on the actual Estes site, and they have no such rocket listed. I strongly suggest ordering directly from Estes, so Amazon done not make anything off of it. And your package will not likely be smashed up. If you are a beginner, I recommend the Alpha III launch set. Less than a year after I started, I tossed the Estes launch pad and controller, and built my own. I made both the pad and controller out of metal, using commercial grade electrical parts.
what bro? 8 million views and 39 comments? this gotta be the highest views to comment ratio.
We need a far away camera to shoot the rocket speed upwards please
I built several launch controllers back when Radio Shack was still around. I no longer have a source for parts. I've also built many launch pads, many out of office chair bases, automotive jackstands, mirror mount CB antenna brackets, etc. I use drill chucks to hold the launch rod. All metal, no plastic. They are real hobby grade stuff, not cheap toys like Estes and even AeroTech sells.
Amazing how things have changed. Amazon? Really? I got started in model rocketry back in the very early '70s, about age 10. I had an Estes catalog. An actual paper catalog. I sent off so many orders (money orders in stamped envelopes) to Penrose, CO. Believe it or not, you can still order directly from Estes Industries, still in Penrose, CO, though you now have to do it online. I suggest ordering from them instead of the Amazon scammers.
I purchased the program on May 5th and I can't see that I have gotten the log-in information for the course e-mailed as yet. Can you help? I sent an e-mail with the transaction number. Thanks! Anxious to get started!!!
How do you not loose the rocket?
You took me back to my childhood in the 70’s I swear I had that same model rocket among 3 or 4 I remember having My hardware was stock from the big toy store at the mall though Thank you dear mother ❤
Hey, I built a launcher, inspired by yours. Today was it's first launches and it went great. Thanks!
The cutey rocket
Hey I have a question. Is this thing reusable
Do you mean the rocket? Of course it’s reusable. I suspect there are model rockets that have flown hundreds of times. The engines are not reusable however.
@@mplsmark222 Ok thanks for letting me know
thank you SO much for this tutorial!! you saved me
Lots of fire in the ejection charge, wadding needed.
I am a beginner about model rockets. I have no knowledge on these things. Can ı use this launch controller for any brand of model rocket kits? And how does this launch controller connect to model rocket kits? Please help me on this
I have all of the rockets and I am doing this with 27 students who will be launching in groups. So at the most, I will be launching 8 rockets. I just need the rest of the materials. I see the link to the engines and the wadding, but I do not know what else I need because I do not want to buy the wrong launch pad. Please advise. :)
Maybe try contacting the company instead of a several year old video on RUclips. Come on teach, it's not rocket science 😉
Ok one minute in and I’m confused about the RTF Ready to Fly comment but then .. “but.. you’ll need engines, launch controllers and launch pad” 😬
RTF just means the rocket is fully assembled, or mostly assembled, decorated with decals and it can save hours of time.
If you like the Estes A8-3, try the Estes Mini Motor A10-3T with Estes 13mm to 18mm adapter. You get 1 more motor in a pack of 4 motors.
I am interested in buying into the video series. I am doing a clustered launch and i want to ensure a strong voltage to the rocket and i want to use a motorcycle battery or small car battery as my voltage source does your videos include information on making this possible ?
wackkkkk! just a lame video. Camera way to close didnt get to see the rocket’s trajectory or it climbing. thumbs down
Sounds like a Greekster works for Estes.
can you make a video on how you made the Rocket Launch Controller Please
How does this set cost the exact same as just the launch pad+controller? There’s no reason to buy the pad separately because this costs the same, and has 2 bonus rockets
😂 Scary nose cone.
Back when I was flying rockets I would cut a round hole in the center of the parachute just like real parachutes have. This would stop the parachute from swinging like a pendulum, and also allow for a straighter descent since it's not swinging all over the place.
Its a blackpowder charge, wadding is a must you're correct!
Will this launch high power motors? It appears to only do Estes style motors
Loved the part where it showed how to make it
Thank you for this.
Nice
It was a great video. Seriously. Until it became an ad. I support Capitalism, it made our country great once. But really felt like it was a misleading video as you didn't show at all how to build the launch controller as I felt the title implied. Implied being the key word here; nothing in it says that you actually show how to build one of those awesome looking controllers. Thanks anyways.
Thank goodness for this video. I would have used the instructions, but I had to cut up the entire thing for the build 🤷♂️
Cool. Wood glue isnt great for mostly plastic rockets. Might work.
Its not the worst!!
My parachute gets always a bit burned after a launch. The last time I launched it it actually made 2 holes in it. How do I fix this? what is causing this? And yes, I use the recommended amount of wadding
Are these guys still around? Their site appears to be dead.
BUT HOW WILL THE CONE EJECT AND LET THE PARACHUTE OUT
bro where is the course to build this
God dammit. The install is real rocket science
That ejection charge makes a strong case for kevlar. No wonder i lost so many chutes and birds back in the '70s. I'd to see a side-by-side of 2 boosters, same burn time, bu in different classes.
How were you able to obtain archival footage of the Apollo 11 crew? 4:39
Can I have a parts list?
Let me know if you come across the parts list. I bought this video series and the link to the parts list takes me to a dead site.
If you were charging $45 for instructions and the parts that would be cool but $27 just for instructions PASS to much $$$
I building one semi basic and I'm stumped I got power to all my components except out to igniter wish u could send pics and cee if u could help me it's a 14.8 volt set up
I’m currently working on FFG Star Wars TTRPG. Purchasing the sourcebooks. Which is getting kinda hard to find. Just missing three. After that I’ll be back to building flying model rockets. Just need some ideas. I’m thinking bout build my own flying model rocket launch controller out of a pelican case. But I need a bigger case. I want make it with voice authorization. Like how then “Admiral” kick set the self destruct sequence on the Enterprise A 1701. Instead it’s Computer this is master launch controller ______ request security access. Computer set auto launch/kill launch. Code 1: A1R1. Then code 2: A1R12B. Code three: 1B2BR13. Then finally code: Code 0000launch/kill Launch 0. That’s after you turn on the controller with the key. But that’s one idea.
