low power

NYPower26 is fast approaching. Held every year during Memorial Day weekend, this year it's May 25-27. What is NYPower? It's a Rocketry Festival featuring low power, mid power, high power & night launches with an 8,000ft waiver. Fun for all ages and skill levels. Spectators are always welcome and...

Are starter kits like this one worth it for complete beginners? https://www.raketenmodellbau-klima.de/Raketenmodellbau/Raketenbausaetze/Pegasus-RTF-Starter-Set.htm?shop=raketenklima&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=1112&t=23&c=26&p=26 Don't get me wrong, I understand that having even the smallest...

Inspiration In the days of yore, when reading G. Harry Stine's Handbook of Model Rocketry, an image toward the end of the chapter on staging struck me: The wheels in my head started spinning and couldn't be stopped. Pitchfork I built an Estes BT-50-based tractor parallel-staged model...

Hi, my name is Finn I want to build a rocket that flies over 1300m with only 150g black powder. How do I build this rocket. Thanks in advance

I’ve seen plans for sale and some scratch built Hercules. I’ve not seen a LPR version of a Nike Hercules kit. Is there any particular reason for this? I’m not above scratch building but I am lazy enough to prefer a good kit. Is there any hope of seeing one?

I just happened to be working on project to build with my 4H group, when I saw this "Ultimate Arduino Challenge". Since I have the basics roughed out, I thought it was worth an entry. A few parts to procure, and we can build it. I am having the kids do the Arduino sketch, and will add it when...
