How Windy is Too Windy for a Launch?​​​​​​

The Semroc Blue Jay is a delta-shaped joined-wing glider. Its shape allows for easy assembly like a jigsaw puzzle, and for a nice easy glide without a lot of fussing around during the trimming process. The motor pod detaches from the glider at burnout, and is recovered by a long streamer.

This is totally new and so unique, we guarantee you've never seen it before. Based on the Apogee Peak-of-Flight Newsletter article by Dave Flanagan, this parachute is designed to spin as it comes down. It is twice as efficient as a normal parachute with the same surface area, and it also doesn't sway as it descends. It's made from nylon cloth, and is perfect for mid-power rocket. Plus there are so many other advantages, that you definitely have to check it out. You absolutely must be the first to own one and show it off at your next launch.

ProCast is a special pyrogen mix that allows you to make igniters for those special situations where the motor is difficult to ignite. It burns far hotter and a little bit slower so that the heat and the pressure inside the casing are maintained to ensure that the motor ignites the first time. It is so powerful, that we have to warn you ahead of time to be careful when using it. If you use too much of this mix on your igniter (you make the pyrogen-head too big), it could provide too much pressure and blow your casing open. We are not responsible for your casing and what happens at launch, so use this stuff sparingly until you are familiar with its energetic nature. 

The Loadstar II bulk pack is a great two stage easy-to-build rocket for classrooms. The kit has large fins, creating excellent stability in flight; you won't have to worry about the rocket's trajectory. This rocket can reach heights of 1,000 feet and can be tracked by an altimeter placed into the clear payload section. 

Quick-Disconnect Connector

These JST quick-disconnect connectors are perfect little connectors for DIY electronic projects like dual deployment set ups. They allow you to quickly remove bulkheads to get at your electronics. Wires are pre-stripped to fit into the terminal blocks of your altimeter.
