Beginner rockets.
Rocketry is a great exciting and educational hobby. Our beginner sets include all you need to get flying.
Great gifts for any age to learn the ropes before progressing to more challenging models.
Our Estes and Klima starter packs include motors, a launch pad and controller. There are a few listings that don't have it all but they are mentioned on the listings if you need additional items to fly.
The best bit of rocketry.
Your motor choice has to be right for your rocket or self build masterpiece.
We have entered loads of data about every rocket engine we stock, this means that you can click on All rockets and use the filters to narrow down on the exact engine you need.

Ground support equipment is essential for rocketry.
You need a launch pad and launch controller to launch your rockets from. You also need wadding (or re-usable options) to protect your parachute each time.
We recommend the durable Klima launch pad and their launch controllers let you install two PP3 9v batteries at once for some extra launching juice! The Klima pad can take a 3mm or 6mm rod as well as a launch rail if required for larger rockets.
The estes pads are also great and the Porta pad E is very good for mid sized rockets also.
Bulk packs for schools and clubs
You can shop for bulk packs of rockets here. We list the packs of rockets on their own with bundles on the page so you can add everything you need in one click.
The bundles include motors, launch pad(s), launch controller(s), batteries and wadding. All you will need to run your club or rocket workshop will be the required tools and consumables for construction. Rocket manuals are on each page so you can check but in general with these starter kits you will likely need the following although not all of these are required by all kits.
Some wood glue (We like gorilla glue but all sorts of PVA should be OK).
Scissors, masking tape, sand paper, decorating supplies (pens etc).
The UKROC competition is an incredible opportunity for schools and clubs. It's a great competition, in which you work together to build a rocket to fly an egg safely and hit other targets too.
You will need to great a rocket no more than 650 grams in gross weight and the rocket needs to be at least 650mm tall too. It has to use two different size air frames with a wider one at the bottom and narrower at the top. The upper tube must be no more than 57mm in diameter and the lower one must be over 63.5mm in diameter. The mission is to fly an egg safely as close to 820 feet (250 meters) in altitude with a total duration of 43-46 seconds.
This is a great competition for schools with loads to learn and experience along the way.
We have loads of parts and have even put together some starter bundles of bits that are perfectly suited to creating your rocket.
There are two main approaches for your body tube size and further parts therefore. We can supply both Klima 75 and 50mm air frame with our Klima 75/50 coupler do suit the 2024 rules well. We also stock the BT70 and BT80 tube and our own BT70/80 coupler which are also a great fit for the design requirements this time.
We can supply everything you need and are happy to help with advice, although you can speak to UKROC too for help and guidance.
