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 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.

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.

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.

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. :)

I don't know about the Athena kit, but the other RTF kit I bought comes with EVERYTHING you need, including launch pad, wadding, motors and igniter. It's literally all you need to fly a rocket.

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.

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

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.

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.

After the engine burns out there's a short delay and then an ejection charge goes off to blow the nose cone off which pulls the chute out.
