The Estes Amazon Model Rocket

It comes with complete instructions but here is an overview. Make sure you take your time and follow all the instructions carefully -particularly when you are building the engine mount.

This is a plastic style rocket. It is very easy to build and stands three feet tall. I built mine in 15 minutes flat and if you have no experience building rockets you should be able to do it in less than 30 minutes. But you should note that you will need Plastic cement and regular white glue to make this model. You should also have some kind of a sharp hobby knife just to trim some of the plastic.

Tandem X Launch Set Estes Rockets The Amazon is one of the two rockets that comes in the Estes Tandem X Kit.

The Amazon Rocket is a pretty easy rocket to build. It is one of the more modern types that is mostly plastic so there is no worries about cutting out balsa wood fins. The fins and engine mount are plastic and easily assembled into the rocket with plastic cement.

I have this rocket and will be posting an assembly procedure soon. So bookmark and check back soon. For now I have created a video that will help. It has pretty much everything, including some tips and hints, for making this rocket.
