Modern High Power Rocketry - 2nd Edition
Product No. 01026

The most extensive book ever written about "how to build LARGE high power rockets." Highly recommended for all modelers getting ready to take a jump to those bigger and more powerful rocket engines. It takes you step-by-step in the process of how to prepare for Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 high power certification. This book does cover the construction and use of payload bays, such as those listed on this page.

SkyAngle parachutes were designed and constructed specifically to handle the extra stress of high power rockets. Because of the extra weight of the bigger rockets, they have more than their share of parachute malfunctions. The SkyAngle parachutes are more durable, and bring your big rockets down slower.

A deployment bag is a device to help ensure that parachute inflates properly and in the correct order. It forces the lines to completely stretch out first, and then the canopy is released so that it can properly inflate. It also minimizes the loads on the suspension lines to prevent tears, and it gives additional protection from the heat of the ejection charges. If you're doing high power rockets, you really need this extra insurance to make your project a success.

Nomex Wadding - This is a permanent form of recovery wadding. It protects the parachute from the heat of the ejection charge, preventing it from getting scorched. Comes in high-visibility orange color which also aids in finding the rocket if it lands in tall grass. This rocket would require the 18" square size (Part Number 29311).

Epoxy Clay - While it has a 1,001 uses around the house, it works great on rockets to make super-strong fillets where the fins attach to the rocket. Better than regular epoxy because it stays in place and doesn't ooze all over the rocket. So you can get perfect fillets on all your fins, without having to do them one at a time. On the payload bay, it works greats to attach the plywood bed to the brass rails without making an epoxy mess (it is highly suggested for these electronics bay kit).
