Rockets

PLEASE READ! When ordering motors please do not select premium shipping services. ALL motors will be shipped ground, best way.  Either USPS Parcel Post (usually 6-10 day delivery) if possible or Fed Ex Ground. If they must go Fed Ex there will be a $22.50 hazmat fee added to your order. Thank You, Ken

Ken continues as our rocket expert and orders for rocket items can be placed with Ken during the following hours:
Due to a recent change of hours at Ken's full time job he will only be here on Monday, 12-1 pm.

Due to the recent court ruling, the court has vacated all restrictions on rocket motors. We are no longer under scrutiny from the BATFE.

How does this effect you, the hobbiest?
If you are over then age of 18 and hold a current membership in Tripoli Rocketry Assc.(TRA) or in the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) and are cerified to fly high power rockets you may purchase any motor with in your certification level. We ask that all flyers please submit a copy of your current membership card to the shop before you try to purchase any high power motors, along with that card we would like to get a copy of a photo I.D. to have on file also. The Photo I.D. just needs your adrress and name for any questions that may come up later.
