Vice President and General Manager Bill Stine’s father, G. Harry Stine, was one of the early pioneers of model rocketry right alongside our founder Vern Estes. Antar, is the latest addition to this series and was a fictional spaceship designed by Mr. Stine in 1951. At that time, Stine was a Range Safety Officer at White Sands Proving Ground by day and in the evenings, he gave lectures to young people interested in the US Space Program. He was also a talented writer who authored both Science Fact and Science Fiction stories. Since no real spaceships existed yet, he created many different ones for use in his stories and as props for the lectures he gave. The Estes model is an authentic replica based of the original design created by Stine. SKILL LEVEL: ADVANCED LENGTH: 23.2 in. (58.9 cm) DIAMETER: 1.64 in. (42 mm) EST. WEIGHT: 3.7 oz.
