Discover the origins of model rocketry with the Designer Signature Series kit from Harry Stine, the "Father of Model Rocketry" and founder of the National Association of Rocketry. 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.

However, 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). Embark on a journey of exploration and learning with this unique kit.

  • SKILL LEVEL: With moderate building and finishing skills, the Antar is perfect for this Advanced level rocket.
  • RECOMMENDED ENGINES: B6-2, B6-4, C6-5
  • PROJECTED ALTITUDE: 450 ft. (137 m) on a C6-5

Overview

History of Antar Model Rocket

The "Father of Model Rocketry" and founder of the National Association of Rocketry is Harry Stine (NAR #02). What's more, he is one of the original pioneers that founded the hobby right alongside Vern Estes, Stine was also a talented writer.

Estes' designers created a precise replica for this Designer Signature Series kit. Moreover, it is based on multiple sketches and the original model, which belongs to Bill Stine, Estes Vice President and the son of Harry Stine.

In 1951, people didn't have the hobby of flying model rockets yet. 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.

Antar Model Rocket:

  • Initially created in 1951
  • They did not design it as a flying model rocket
  • Designed to be stable enough in flight to be used as a model rocket
  • Precise replica created for the Designer Signature Series kit by Estes' designers
  • Replica based on multiple sketches and the original model owned by Bill Stine, Estes Vice President and the son of Harry Stine

Overall, the history of the Antar model rocket is a fascinating story. It showcases the innovative and adventurous early hobbyists who laid the groundwork for modern model rocketry.

Estes Antar Model Rocket Review

I just completed construction and finishing for the kit. It's a simple build as long as you take your time. I found that some challenges with painting the kit in the suggested colors and patterns illustrated on the box cover and instructions because the actual main wing construction and size does not comport to the graphic art on the box and instructions. The decal sheet could have been better quality as the decal film is too delicate. I would have also like to have had more decals as well. On add to make a second decal sheet with the graphic pattern on the top main wing would be really handy. The suggested "dark forest" paint color is problematic at best (what does that mean Estes?) but I found a green color that was dark. I also check the center of mass for this rocket - and I think other hobbyist may want to as well to ensure it will have a stable flight. Lastly - a message to Estes - consider making this a larger "PRO" kit and put some quality upgrades in the engine block and decals.

It’s a great looking rocket. Fun to build and rewarding to finish. Hope to fly it soon.

Sucks in flight

This rocket flew good the first launch then after that the consistency and the flight quality went down. The parachute did not come out of the tube even with all the required equipment, wading and baby powder still didn't deploy. Went up then came down hard broke all three back fins. Do not buy, waste of money and time. But it was funny to watch it do some acrobatics in the air.
