Fins & Fire Motor Retainers

These new retainers are designed for rockets that have a flat bottom, and which need to be retrofitted to have a motor retainer. They are designed to be twisted onto the rocket, just like the screw-on retainers, so they allow fast installation and removal of the rocket motor. And they look much more professional and is more secure than friction fitting with tape. Two motor sizes available: 29mm and 38mm.

Semroc Starship Vega

This kit from Semroc is a reproduction of the 1974 kit from Estes. The Starship Vega is a futuristic planetary exploration vehicle that has the landing legs necessary for a safe touchdown on some other planet. This rocket looks great sitting on your display shelf, or when in flight. Flies on standard 18mm diameter motors.

Semroc Mars Snooper

The Mars Snooper was first offered by Estes in 1965. The Mars Snooper was one of the first exotic model rocket kits and was billed as being a great demo rocket. This release from Semroc features fiber fin alignment guides and other jigs to assist in the building process.

Semroc Starship Excalibur

The Pods! Those cool forward-swept pods on the tips of the fins are the one feature that really makes the Starship Excalibur stand out among all the rockets ever created. They are the signature feature of this classic model that everyone loves. This Semroc model is a reproduction of the classic 1984 kit from Estes.

Odd'l Rockets F-104 Starfighter

The F-104 Starfighter is an updated and improved rendition of the classic 1977 Centuri rocket kit. It is more realistic to the actual fighter jet in that the air inlets are circular rather than rectangular. Flies on 18mm diameter rocket motors.

Semroc Gyroc

The Gyroc is a unique rocket that features helicopter recovery for the main body, and streamer recovery for the motor pod. This is a reproduction of a kit that was originally available from Estes (from 1969 to 1983). As far as we know, it was the first ever helicopter recovery kit produced by a rocket company. If you're reliving your youth and want to build classic kits, the Gyroc is perfect for you.

Semroc Spaceman

Back in 1965 when Vern Estes designed this rocket kit, it was considered to be controversial. Some felt that it was a disgrace to the sport, while others said it did an important job in showing that a rocket doesn't have to look like a rocketship to fly well. But it has stood the test of time and is an easily recognized favorite around the world. Your rocket fleet is not complete unless you're flying a rocket actually designed by Vern Estes!

BT-80 Fin Alignment Guide

Here is a simple laser-cut cardboard fin alignment jig that is perfect for schools and TARC teams. It fits rockets that are 66mm in diameter (BT-80 size tubes), which have three 1/8-inch (3mm) thick fins. It holds the fins while the glue dries, so make sure they are perfectly straight.
