See How Easily You Can Learn To Build A Real Flying Model Rocket!
Think of the confidence you'll have with your students once you know the secrets of building great looking rockets. They'll thank you for teaching them how its done.
This is totally FREE -- we'll even pay the postage. You made a great decision to visit our web site today. This is our thank-you gift.
See how high your model rocket flew with the new AltimeterOne rocketry altimeter. It uses state-of-the-art technology to measure the atmospheric pressure surrounding the rocket to find out how high the model flew. It displays this on a screen so you can quickly see the results of your flight. Rechargable by plugging it into a computer USB port.
Our model rocketry newsletter is called the "Peak of flight." It helps you learn how to build rockets and get the most out of your rocketry projects (pdf format).
This mid-size rocket kit is for the fearless person that has the confidence to move up from small rockets to something a bit bigger. It has a 29mm motor tube, but comes with a 24mm adapter so you can fly it with over 50 different motors
Protect your rocket investment with an engine retainer that is more secure than a simple metal hook. When you're flying E's, F's, and G's, people will know how smart you are to have a high-tech engine-retainer to keep the motor from sliding out in flight.
By running the shroud lines over the top of the canopy, you increase the strength and still keep the rocket's weight low. See how this is don in this new YouTube video.
Do you have a big rocket that needs to be converted to take smaller diameter engines? That is the purpose of an Engine Mount Adapter. Watch this YouTube vid.
