The Estes Athena is officially in the running for the best model rocket for beginners. This thing is straight-up fun. When it comes to the basics of launching a model rocket, pushing the launch button and watching a rocket fly into the air this has everything you need. Especially if you're in a hurry to get a rocket in the sky, or launching with a young child who doesn't have the skills to build this is the rocket for you.

I always feel good when I get a chance to fly rockets, been flying since 1968. Whether high-powered or low-powered, the rush of the lift off is thrilling. Love your videos, keep them coming.

You took me back to my childhood in the 70’s

I can tell the way you wrap that parachute that you had the same little hand tossed parachute guy the ice cream guy would sale in the late 80s early 90s

Hey, I built a launcher, inspired by yours. Today was it's first launches and it went great. Thanks!

Great video! I enjoyed the controller video! Gave me some ideas I have not yet considered.

[@3dprintinglife]

Brilliant! I'm thinking of buying the estes alpha 3 kit as I'm just getting into model rocketeering.

[@dhairyasheth]

We need a far away camera to shoot the rocket speed upwards please

[@nightkun04]

Wow, awesome, want to do too but I'm in Thailand I don't know where to get it

[@TheKnotcase]

[@933pilgrim]

Any chance to use micro video camera on the body of this rocket?

[@culater]

[@solomonaerospace5932]

I love this channel! I just launched my first model rocket, the Alpha III, and I was wondering, would this be a good next step for me?

[@vijithasanoj5335]

Wow okay superb! Just what I wanted ! I have a question for you are you going to stick with the normal model rockets or will you make something pretty advanced like flight computer and thrust vector control for your rocket?

[@georgehiotis]

Sounds like a Greekster works for Estes.

[@florenbaron7111]

How do you not loose the rocket?
