As one of the original pioneers of the hobby, Stine's talent for science and writing was integral to its creation. This kit includes a precise replica of the Antar model rocket, based on multiple sketches and the original model owned by Bill Stine, Estes Vice President and Harry's son.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, originally a fictional vehicle, Stine's knowledge of flight science made it possible to create a stable flying model rocket. To build, you'll need scissors, glue, sandpaper, and other basic supplies. For launching, the Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller, as well as Estes model rocket engines, starters, and recovery wadding are required (sold separately).

Therefore, they didn't design Antar as a flying model rocket. Stine was a physicist and clearly understood the science of flight. So even though Antar was a fictional vehicle, the science behind it meant it could be stable in flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntar Model Rocket:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitially created in 1951\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey did not design it as a flying model rocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to be stable enough in flight to be used as a model rocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise replica created for the Designer Signature Series kit by Estes' designers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplica based on multiple sketches and the original model owned by Bill Stine, Estes Vice President and the son of Harry Stine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the history of the Antar model rocket is a fascinating story.
