Estes Bullet Model Rocket Balsa Wood Orange

In 1961, Vern Estes designed the first Estes model rocket packaged for sale as a complete kit, the Astron Scout. But before the Astron scout took flight, a never before seen prototype was created. While the design functioned, vern and fellow rocketeer G.Harry Stine decided they could achieve the same thing without ejecting the engine. The weight of the rocket engine itself was used to shift the CG backwards in a later version which became the classic Astron scout. Sixty years later, bill stine, G.Harry Stine's son and current Estes vice president decided it was time for the Orange bullet to take flight. Sixty years later, Bill Stine, G.
