Harry Stine (NAR#02) is known as t' “Father o' Model Rocketry” and founder o' t' National Association o' Rocketry. Well, blow me down! One o' t' original pioneers that founded t' hobby right alongside Vern Estes, ya bilge rat, Stine was also a talented writer. Aye aye! 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). Ya scallywag! Antar was nay designed as a flyin' model rocket because in 1951 t' hobby didn’t exist yet!  Stine be a physicist and clearly understood t' science o' flight, shiver me timbers, so even though Antar was a fictional vehicle, matey, t' science behind it meant it could be stable in flight.
