Estes model rockets are typically made of lightweight materials such as balsa wood, cardboard, and plastic. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from small, simple rockets that are great for beginners, to more complex models that can reach altitudes of over 1,000 feet. Estes also produces a variety of rocket engines that are used to power their rockets, ranging from small A-class engines for beginners to larger D-class engines for more experienced model rocket enthusiasts.

One of the unique features of Estes model rockets is their recovery system. Most Estes rockets are designed to return to the ground safely using a parachute or streamer. The parachute or streamer is deployed when the rocket reaches its maximum altitude and begins to descend, allowing it to float back down to the ground slowly and safely.

Estes also offers a wide range of accessories to enhance the model rocket experience. These include launch pads, launch controllers, recovery wadding, and more. They also offer a variety of educational resources for teachers and students, including lesson plans and educational kits designed to teach science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts.

Overall, Estes model rockets are a fun and engaging way to explore the science and technology of rocketry. They are a great way to learn about aerodynamics, propulsion, and other STEM concepts, and are suitable for people of all ages and skill levels.
