Estes has always provided good clear instructions. I Love the 2001 instructions, you can almost read them for pleasure like a good book but the trend is toward language free with many photos and that's for just about anything you buy as DIY.

As for vendors other than Estes I have never had a problem but I do have a favorite.

David Miller at Sirius Rocketry currently provides what I think are the best instructions for the kits he produces. They are worded well and with just enough photos; a happy balance.

Of course Dave is a builder / flyer / vendor, so he knows what most of us are used to using.

+1 to everything said in this post.

Good instructions are hard to do, and Dave really nails it.
