Estes designer John Boren approached the Design2Fly Challenge with a goal of creating something completely different. Rather than using only the parts inside the kit, John turned the packaging itself into a central part of his design.

The result is a square-profile spacecraft with detailed exterior panels, a distinctive window, and an uncommon rear-ejection recovery system. We asked John to share the inspiration, planning, and creative decisions behind his original Design2Fly Builder Kit creation.

With a background in sport rockets and performance rocketry, Estes designer Josh Kassel approached the Design2Fly Challenge with a clear goal: if he could not make his creation fast, he was going to make it look fast.

The result is a hypersonic vehicle inspired by elements of several real-world aircraft. We asked Josh to share the inspiration, creative decisions, and building process behind his original Design2Fly Builder Kit creation.

Estes designer Robert Staten approached the Design2Fly Challenge with an interest in symmetry, contrasting shapes, and a classic model rocket aesthetic. By combining multiple pod tubes, different fin arrangements, sharp angles, and a red, white, and blue finish, Robert created a custom rocket that looks distinctive while remaining designed for practical sport flying.

We asked Robert to share the inspiration, creative decisions, and planning behind his original Design2Fly Builder Kit creation.

Inspired by the imaginative worlds of Jules Verne, Estes designer Saron Bhoopathy transformed the Design2Fly Builder Kit into a richly detailed custom rocket named Nautilus. His design pairs a classic retro silhouette with layered fins, exposed conduits, riveted accents, and an inventive use of nearly every part he could find.

We asked Saron to share the inspiration, experimentation, and creative decisions behind his build. Read the full story: https://estesrockets.com/blogs/rocket-talk/designers-challenge-saron-bhoopathy

The Firecrest™ Bulk Pack gives you 12 rockets in a single box at our lowest price! More than enough to keep everyone busy, keep the launches coming, and keep the whole thing under $10 per flight.* Pre-colored parts mean you spend less time at the table and more time at the pad.

Grab the new 1/4A3-3T Engine Bulk Pack and you're stocked for two full rounds without a mid-afternoon supply run. Show up ready. Stay out there longer.

Twelve rockets. One box. All you need is the crew. Link in bio.

New, unbeatable launch day value!

The Firecrest Bulk Pack puts 12 rockets in a single box at our lowest price, enough for the whole crew, the whole family, or a full afternoon of back-to-back flights.

With pre-colored parts and no painting required, each Firecrest goes together quickly and easily, making it a great choice for first-time builders. Pair the Firecrest™ Bulk Pack with the new 1/4A3-3T Engine Bulk Pack to stock up for launch day. With 24 mini engines, 30 starters, 24 starter plugs, and 72 squares of recovery wadding, it covers the flight consumables for two full rounds of Firecrest launches while keeping each launch under $10*.

The Firecrest flies up to 125 feet, making it a great fit for smaller fields, backyards, and parks. Streamer recovery keeps retrieval simple and gets the next rocket in the air faster.

Twelve rockets. One box. Our best value bulk pack. Shop both bulk packs at the link in bio.

*Under $10 per launch based on one Estes 1/4A3-3T engine and 2-3 squares of Estes recovery wadding per flight, sold separately.
