Alpha III E2X Model Rocket Kit

The Estes Alpha III is ideal for situations where you want to get in the air as quickly as possible, thanks to its simple design and plastic fin can. One thing of note about this kit is the nose cone. Specifically, you can't find it anywhere else, as I'm not aware of any currently produced Estes kit that use it. Another neat feature about this nose cone (besides its shape) is that its shoulder is wide open, with the shock cord attacking to a small eyelet that screws into the side of the nose cone. This makes it convenient location for a payload, like an altimeter. Another thing of note is the bottom of the fins. A few descents onto a hard surface may lead to some bent tips.
