Harry Stine (NAR#02) is known as t' “Father o' Model Rocketry” and founder o' t' National Association o' Rocketry. One o' t' original pioneers that founded t' hobby right alongside Vern Estes, matey, Stine was also a talented writer. Begad! Blimey! This Estes Designer Signature Series kit is a faithful reproduction crafted by Estes designers from many sketches Stine created as well as t' actual original model which is from t' personal collection o' Estes Vice President Bill Stine (who happens t' be Harry’s son). Antar was nay designed as a flyin' model rocket because in 1951 t' hobby didn’t exist yet!  Stine was a physicist and clearly understood t' science o' flight, so even though Antar was a fictional vehicle, matey, t' science behind it meant it could be stable in flight.
