4 WE Will Start Building in May

5 You can paint them any way you want!

6 PARACHUTES Don’t worry about parachutes. Most students don’t use the parachute because it reduces the chance of getting your rocket back. We have extra parachutes if you REALLY Really really want one. Most rockets come with a parachute, but a few don’t. We have extra if they want one. The tumble recovery is the way to go to get the rocket back though.

7 Level 1 Rockets Thrust to Weight Ratio.
Red numbers are the size of the rocket in inches. Purple Numbers are the approximate estimated Thrust to Weight Ratio. The Bigger the number the higher the rocket should fly. (AND the harder it will be to get back.) I like to have meter sticks out on tables so kids can reference them for rocket sizes. I tell kids they really need to decide how much money they will be able to spend, and how important will it be to get the rocket back. A Thrust to Weight ratio of 30 is about a 50/50 chance of getting the rocket back. Anything higher and the chances just get worse.

8 Wizard 1292 $8.00 Engines A B C 15 2545 Good basic inexpensive rocket. Will get lost with a C engine. “Skinny” 12.0"

9 Estes Hi-Flier Rocket 2178 $11.00 Engines A B C 10 16 28 12.0"
Just a different style than the Wizard. Bigger Fins. More stable flight. Not as high as the Wizard. “skinny” 12.0"

10 Crossfire ISX 7220 $13.00 Engines A B C
Nice for something a little different. More than just a basic rocket with its “fancy fins”. A little trickier to build for a level 1. Almost a level 2. “Medium diameter” 15.6”

11 Baby Bertha 1261 $14.00 ENGINES A B C 12 20 39 12.75"
“Fat rocket” Short. Four fins. It is cute. Great flier and easier to see, even with a C engine. 12.75"

12 Fletcher $15.00 Engine AT “mini skinny rocket” LONNNNNNGG rocket. Hold up a meter stick. That is how long this rocket is. Won’t go super high because of the AT engine. Easy to get back. Unique style. Great value. 39.75” 15

13 Twister 3033 $16.00 Engines A B C Must be precise when building this rocket. Cool corkscrew flight. Fun and Different. “Medium diameter” 13.8”

14 Super Alpha 3216 $16.50 Engines B C 15 27 19.5"
This is a large version of a classic Estes Rocket. Nice big “fat” diameter. Easy to see. Typical build. Not too hard…not too easy. Good flights 15 27 19.5"

15 Nike Apache 7254 $16.50 Engine A B C
New ROCKET!! Cool design. Nice Price. Thrust to weight is a guess. “fat” at the bottom, “skinny” at the top. 23”

16 24.7” Space Twister 7258 $18.00 Engines A B C 15 30 40
NEW Rocket!!! Bigger version of a Twister. Should be coolio. Will require precision building skills. It is over 2 feet tall! “fat’ diameter. Look at that cool taper on the nose cone though! 24.7”

17 Patriot 2056 $18.00 Engines A B C 10 20 35 Fantastic “fat” rocket. Easy to see. A little bit of a challenge to build, but easy to fix if they mess it up. A great flying rocket. 21.25"

18 Der Red Max 0651 $18.50 Engines B C “fat” diameter. VERY stable rocket because the fins are so huge! Cool water applied slide on decals. (Most decals are slide on water decals that kids don’t have the patience for, but this rocket is worth taking the time to make it look like the picture…but they don’t have to.) A little bit of a challenge to build because it has some unique directions, but a skill level 1 for sure. 16.25"

19 Big Bertha $ Engines B C 24.0" Expensive for what you get. It is tall, big “fat diameter” rocket. Fins can be a little tricky, but this rocket is one of the few that will stand up all by itself and not fall over because of the engine hook. 12 26

20 Taser Twin 3201 $20.00 40 50 60 ??? B + B booster B + C booster
Two stage. Price includes both engines. Be sure to indicate on your order form that you need a booster engine. If you are not going to launch both stages, save your money and buy a different rocket. 3201 $20.00 ??? B + B booster B + C booster C + C booster New TWO STAGE rocket. Definitely the most difficult Level 1 rocket to build. This baby will sail off into the wild blue yonder. Good luck getting it back. Will be really cool to watch it go though. Choose the engine combination you want. They could launch just a single stage, but why? They are paying for a two stage and the cost of the booster engine is included. Make sure they write down both engines on the order slip. 15.4

21 Level 2 Rockets Thrust to Weight Ratio.
Red numbers are the size of the rocket in inches. Purple Numbers are the approximate estimated Thrust to Weight Ratio. The Bigger the number the higher the rocket should fly. (AND the harder it will be to get back.)

22 Rogue Voyager 7223 $18.00 Engines B C ~16 ~25 22.1" ( Level 2)
Good value. Tough build. Nice stable flight. This is a medium diameter rocket, but the base is a little wider. Challenging rocket. ~16 ~25

23 Goblin 7237 $18.00 Engines C11 $1.00 D $2.00 ~16 ~30 14.4" ( Level 2)
This is the least expensive D rocket. It is cool. The “innards” of getting the engine mount is the reason this is a level 2 rocket. A great flier though. It has a “fat” diameter. It is sort of like Der Red Max, but it has a D engine. ~16 ~30

24 Super Neon 2050 $18.00 Engines B C 20 35 22.1" (Level 2)
Tricky build. Medium Diameter body. All the tubes at the bottom make it stable but heavy. This is not the XL. They discontinued the XL version. 20 35 22.1"

25 Hi-Flier XL 3226 $20.00 Engines C11 $1.00 D $2.00 E $4.00 10 24 31” 47
One of the best values for a BIG rocket. Fantastic Fins!!!! Tall. Really a very cool rocket. “fat “ diameter. Very easy to see. E engines make this thing scream and it may not come back. 24 31” 47

26 $32.00 Big Daddy 2162 Engines D $2.00 E $4.00 35 50 19" (Level 2)
“SUPER FAT” rocket. Very cool fun roaring flights. Actually a pretty easy build. Care and precision must be used to get the engine mount in the right place so the fins will go in, but done right, the fins are extremely easy to put on. This can be the most expensive rocket, and is, not counting the engine. 35 50 19"

27 Level 3 Rockets Thrust to Weight Ratio.
Red numbers are the size of the rocket in inches. Purple Numbers are the approximate estimated Thrust to Weight Ratio. The Bigger the number the higher the rocket should fly. (AND the harder it will be to get back.)

28 V-2 3228 $25.00 Engines C11 $1.00 D $2.00 E $4.00 Very technical and precise build. This is a complex set of directions that must be followed exactly. This is almost as “fat” as the Big Daddy, but is taller. The top and bottom are plastic. The engine mount is very complex. Do not build this if you have never made a model, or if you have very little patience, or if reading and following the directions will be a challenge. 15 25 40 22.4”

29 Astron Skydart II 3229 $29.00 Engines B C 25 15.4”
The most complicated build. I think I have seen one of these fly correctly. 25 15.4”

30 Extreme Level 3 $30.00 D $2.00 E $4.00 Two Stage Option!! D Booster add $4 E Booster add $6 NEW Rocket!! Super big! Almost 4 feet tall! Two stages, but students can choose to launch just a single stage. Engines for this will cost between $2 and $10! Just for the engines! Two stages on this put the altitude at almost 2000 feet. Probably will be a tricky build. This is for advanced rocketeers, but it could be launched for $32. 29 45 46.4”
