The article discusses the best model rocket kits for beginners, with instructions that are easy to assemble and fly your own rockets. These kits include kits that include basic step-by-step assembly instructions, such as NASA's Space Launch System (SLS), which comes out of the box pre-assembled and pre-painted. Estes Industries' Alpha III rocket requires only glue and common household tools to create a rocket that flies as high as 1,150 feet (350 meters). The Alpha III kit also introduces the basic assembly of the engine mount and recovery system (parachute). The Journey Launch Set from Estes includes a high altitude, low weight and launch set, with a maximum altitude of over 1000 feet and a launch pad from which to set them soaring. The Rascal and Hijinks set from EstES also includes a rocket designed for the beginner, with the same ease to build, and the Porta-Pad II and Electron Beam Launch Controller. Not included are engines, AA batteries, recovery wadding and starters, sold separately.
