Estes Mercury Redstone Kit

The Mercury Redstone model rocket kit is a 1:34-size replica of the iconic rocket that was used in the early days of the American space program. Its significance is that it was the rocket that was used to launch the first and second American astronauts into space. That makes this kit perfect for those who are interested in model rocketry and the history of space exploration.

The finished rocket stands nearly 29 inches tall and features laser-cut, layered balsa fins and a molded plastic model of Grissom’s Liberty Bell 7 and it’s Launch Escape System (LES). The set of detailed water-slide decals even includes the distinctive white “crack” that Gus painted onto the side of his spacecraft to make it resemble the actual Liberty Bell.

More that just a historic replica from the early days of the American space program, this rocket kit from Estes has history in its own right too. This kit is a re-released but enhanced version of the model rocket that the company Centuri produced in the 1960's. Own a piece of history today!

Quick Change Motor Mount Kits

Do you want to design your own rockets with a quick change motor mount system, like seen in the Quick Draw rocket (shown below)? We now have four different motor mount kits for BT-80 (or 2.6" diameter heavy wall tube) size rockets that you can swap out quickly, as well as a permanant mount to be installed in each rocket that uses the system. This will allow you to fly your design with a single 29mm, or as a cluster of 2, 3, or 4 rocket motors. You'll have the versatility that you've never before had. Imagine one rocket that you can change out motor mounts to fly any combination of motors you want. Check them out!

Quick Draw Rocket

New from Apogee Components is the Quick Draw model rocket kit. It is the ultimate in versatility and excitement. With its interchangeable motor mount system, you can choose to launch the rocket with a single motor for a thrilling ride, or go all out with a cluster of three motors for an epic launch. Comes with two quick-change motor mounts - a single 29mm motor, or a cluster of three 24mm motors. Plus you can get additional motor mounts for launching as a two or four engine cluster.

LaunchMaster Control Battery

The North Coast Rocketry's LaunchMaster™ takes a special battery. And now we have them available here. This rechargeable 3000mAh, 7.2V battery has the capacity for hundreds of launches between charges. It also has the current capability to even handle some cluster launches. This product also includes a battery charger so you can use this recharable battery for years and years. This simple-to-use charger plugs into a standard household electric outlet, so you don't need anything extra to make it work.

Save those old igniter wires, as they can easily be reused to make new igniters! The Conductive Starter Mix from QuickBurst allows you to have the reloadable igniter so you save money. This updated mix works well with BOTH black powder and composite motors! Make your own motor starters from an ordinary two-conductor wire. NO bridge wire needed. And reuse the same wire over and over again. Just mix and dip. And dip again and again.
