I'm new to model rocketry and want to know how to get started

Model rocketry is great fun and really easy to get in to!

We offer a variety of starter sets that include everything you need to get cracking. Some sets may need construction supplies like glue, and paint if required. Any additional needs not included in the set are listed on the listings.

You can also piece together exactly what you want from our model rocket kits. You will need the following items to launch your rocket kit. (Not required with starter sets!)

A rocket launch pad
A rocket launch controller
Batteries for the launch controller
Recovery wadding
Rocket motors

Here are some popular ideas from the Ready to fly starter sets, Standard starter sets and Some popular kits and general accessories.

Ready to fly rocket kits are great if you want to get flying (almost) straight away. There is very minimal setup required before you start shooting for the stars.

We've included three of the most popular sets on the left that fall in to the ready to fly category.

Should you want to get extra motors for these sets you can find these here. We've filtered it to the most suitable motors, however do check your rocket set listing to ensure you buy the right motors.

These kits make great gifts as they contain everything you need to get cracking with model rocketry. Moving forwards you can order additional rockets and motors that will work with this launch pad in the start sets.

The Klima starter sets come with a slightly larger and more upgradable pad for the future than the Estes ones. Although both are great.
