Journey 75

I run a very large high-power rocket club, and we compete in ARC. The service we get from Wildman is second to none—shipments are fast, and Tim and Jackie are awesome to work with. I love the Journey 75 for my students working on their Junior Level 1s. It's a perfect beginner high-power rocket for learning how to work with different materials.

After finding a bag full of a few Estes rockets while cleaning out my office, I finished building the unfinished ones and went out to launch them. I was immediately hooked! A couple weeks later I got some advice from the rocketry Discord channel and ended up purchasing the Journey 75 with a plastic nose cone, a 12" Nomex sheet, and the recommended Aeropack motor retainer.

The rocket showed up pretty quickly and I was able to get right to work! Since the kit is fiberglass, I made sure to use gloves and a respirator just in case. Everything went together great and the video was very helpful for guiding me through the build. 10/10 would build again!

I flew on a single use Aero tech H219 and included a Tile, Estes altimeter, and an old smartphone with the Insane Rocketry app. I hit an apogee of 1641' and successfully recovered my rocket, earning my Level 1 Certification!

I look forward to saving up some money and purchasing a dual deployment kit from Wildman in the future!

Very good build experience. Used for successful Level 1 certification, and looking forward to many flights into the future.

If you want a great L1 rocket robust enough to fly again and again this is it. IMO this was perfectly designed for the I500 DMS motor. Just put a tracker in it if using motor deploy. Rips!

This is a great kit. I purchased and recommended the nose cone upgrade and the motor retainer.
