Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Boxed Pro Terra Nova EST 9739
One rocket. Two ways to command the sky. The Pro Series II™ Terra Nova™ introduces a first for Estes: quick-change engine mounts that let you switch between a single 29 mm engine and a four-engine 24 mm quad-cluster. Experience the punch of an F15-4, then change mounts and bring four engines to your next countdown. Standing over four feet tall and reaching up to 975 ft. (297 m), Terra Nova makes every launch an occasion.
Built for experienced rocketeers, this Expert level kit pairs laser-cut plywood fins and a 36-inch parachute with a dedicated avionics bay for altimeters and flight data accessories. Build it, explore its recommended engine configurations, and discover just how much one rocket can do.
A New Frontier for Estes Rocketry
The most exciting part of your next launch might be deciding how to power it. The Pro Series II™ Terra Nova™ brings quickly interchangeable single-engine and quad-cluster mounts to an Estes rocket for the first time, giving experienced builders a whole new reason to head back to the launch field. Named after the ship that carried Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition, Terra Nova channels that spirit of exploration into a rocket built for discovery. Your next challenge starts at the workbench and comes alive at the countdown.
Swap the Mount. Change the Experience.
Build both included engine mounts and keep your next flight open to possibility. The single 29 mm mount flies on an F15-4, while the four-engine 24 mm mount opens up three recommended C11 and D12 combinations. The mounts are designed to swap quickly and easily, so choosing a different setup does not mean building a different rocket. Go from the excitement of a single-engine launch to the anticipation of four engines igniting together, all with the same Terra Nova.
A Build Worth Making Room For
At 51.25 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter, Terra Nova has a presence you can appreciate long before it leaves the pad. Laser-cut plywood fins, distinctive fin cutouts, and the suggested dark blue and black finish give this Expert level kit a commanding look. Inside, the interchangeable mounts and avionics assembly make it a rewarding project for builders ready to put their skills to work. A 36-inch parachute handles recovery, bringing your creation back after the climb.
