Join the hundreds of thousands of people who got their start in model rockets with this classic! The Estes Alpha III was the very first rocket in the E2X series. E2X (Easy to Assemble) is a rocket series designed with beginners in mind. With all colored rocket parts and easily applied self-stick decals, you're ready for liftoff in minutes. The black body tube, bright orange nose cone and one piece fin unit build quickly into one flashy rocket!
With nothing more needed than glue for this starter set, you can be on the flying field in no time at all! Using standard Estes engines (two included) the Alpha III sores to heights over 1,100 feet (335 m). Whether you're a first time rocketeer or a long time flyer, this 12.3 inch (31.1 cm) Alpha III is a true classic that should be in everyones' collection. What more could you ask for than a high performance, high flying, classic rocket!
Assembly takes one hour or less. Estes engines and launch system are included. Requires four AA alkaline batteries for the launch controller - not included. Recommended for ages 10 and up with adult supervision for those under 12.

Want to set yourself apart from the rest of the hundreds of thousands? We have just what you need to do it. Here at Mercury Engineering we like to push things up a notch or two, so in addition to the Estes Alpha III starter set we are throwing in a Mercury Engineering Impulse Reactor flying model rocket kit.
After you cut your teeth on the easy to assemble Alpha III it's time to go old school with the Impulse Reactor. The Impulse Reactor's construction is slightly more challenging than the Alpha III and consists of more traditional model rocket materials, like balsa fins, a balsa nose cone, and water-slide decals.
