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: estesrockets.com/blogs/rocke… #EstesRockets #Design2FlyChallenge #modelrockets
