A First for Estes. A New Draw for Your Rocketry Aisle.

The Pro Series II™ Terra Nova™ gives hobby retailers a compelling answer to the experienced customer asking, “What should I build next?” Its quick-change engine mounts bring single-engine and quad-cluster flying together in one kit, introducing a capability Estes has never offered before. Named after the ship that carried Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition, Terra Nova pairs an exploration-inspired identity with features that give customers plenty to discover at the workbench and launch field.

Two Included Mounts, Four Recommended Configurations

The key selling point is easy to demonstrate: customers can quickly swap between the included single 29 mm engine mount and four-engine 24 mm cluster mount. An F15-4 powers the single-engine setup, while three recommended C11 and D12 combinations give cluster enthusiasts additional ways to fly. Customers can explore those configurations with the same finished rocket, creating a natural reason to return for engines as they plan their next launch.

Quad-cluster flights require the Pro Series II™ Launch Controller (2240) and a 3-cell 11.1 V LiPo Battery (2217), sold separately. Install matching engines opposite one another for symmetric thrust, and follow the included instructions for engine placement and cluster wiring. Projected maximum altitude is 975 ft. (297 m); flight altitude varies by configuration and conditions.

Flight Instrumentation Adds Another Reason to Explore

A dedicated avionics bay makes Terra Nova especially appealing to customers who want to measure their flights and compare results. It supports altimeters and flight data accessories, including the Estes® Altimeter, sold separately. Pairing the kit with an altimeter gives your team a practical accessory recommendation tied directly to how customers will use the rocket. The included instructions explain accessory mounting and the vent holes required for altimeter use.

A Substantial Build for Experienced Hobbyists

Terra Nova measures 51.25 inches long and 3 inches in diameter, giving a completed display model the size to catch attention in your store. Laser-cut plywood fins, distinctive fin cutouts, and a suggested dark blue and black finish complement the engineering inside. The Expert level build includes both engine mount assemblies and the avionics bay, offering experienced builders a project with more to engage them than appearance alone. A 36-inch parachute provides recovery after flights reaching a projected maximum altitude of 975 ft. (297 m).

Help Customers Plan Their Next Launch

Merchandise Terra Nova alongside its recommended engines, launch equipment, and flight accessories to make choosing a setup straightforward. The kit includes components for both engine mounts, decals, and a parachute recovery system, with launch compatibility for a Pro Series II™ Launch Pad using a 1/4-inch rod or a Pro Series II™ Launch Rail. Engines, launch equipment, recovery wadding, tools, and construction and finishing supplies are sold separately. Asking whether a customer plans to fly single-engine, quad-cluster, or both gives your staff a useful starting point for recommending the supplies that fit their plans.
