Model rockets are enormous fun for all the family and a hobby which is unknown to many. If you are new to model rockets then try our model rockets introduction.

Estes rockets are categorised into skill levels indicating the time and complexity of the model rocket kit.

• Ready To Fly - This is where most people start off. No paint, glue or modeling skills required. Rocket comes assembled and is ready for liftoff in just minutes.


• E2X - No paint or special tools needed. E2X® kits contain parts that are coloured and easy to assemble. Simply glue the parts together as per the instructions, apply the self-adhesive decals, attach the recovery system and you are ready to blast off! Assembly takes as little as 1 hour.


• Level 1 - Requires some painting, gluing and sanding. Features die cut balsa fins, slotted body tubes, plastic nose cones and self-adhesive decals. Step by step instructions make building very easy. Assembly takes at least an afternoon.


• Level 2 - First tier of more advanced kits. Requires beginner skills in model rocket construction and finishing. Features die cut balsa or plastic fins, plastic nose cones and unfinished body tubes. Assembly time may take a complete day.


• Level 3 - Second tier of more advanced kits. Requires moderate skills in model rocket construction and finishing. Features multiple die cut balsa fins and parts, unfinished body tubes, complex designs and plastic nose cones. Assembly time may take a couple of days.

Once you have chosen your estes rocket kit, there are many accessories available to upgrade your model rocket. You may consider replacing the basic and disposable parachute with something a little more durable, such as the great Top Flight Standard Parachutes (Thin Mill).

You may decide that standard wadding is not for you, in which case maybe some Bio degradable wadding may be more appropriate or you may wish to try a Top Flight Nomex Firewall and get rid of the need to buy wadding at all.

Don't forget those useful books, such as the Handbook of Model Rocketry.
