Go to suppliers

Hello, getting back into rocketry after a 30 year hiatus.... I’ve ordered a couple of orders from Apogee Components and so far it’s been a good experience..... just wondering what everyone’s “go to” place to order from is? I’m doing LPR and MPR with the kids....

Rocketarium
eRockets
Semroc
Fliskits
Madcow
Giant Leap
Hawk Mountain
Binder Design
BSD High Power Rocketry
Estes
ASP Rocketry

To name a few.... go for it!
Cheers

AC Supply for a large selection of Estes products at a discount: https://www.acsupplyco.com/estes/estes_rockets.htm

Hobby Lobby if you have one around you for a smaller selection of Estes products at a discount.

Apogee is a fine vendor and Tim adds a lot of value with his newsletter and videos on a wide variety of rocketry subjects.


Welcome to the forum ! Where are y'all flying ? And why haven't you posted any launch pictures yet ?

Wherever the wind blows.

Thanks for the welcome..... South Florida..... I have a friend that owns a ranch and have some room to fly!

We are in the middle of our builds and I'm waiting on an order from Apogee for my rocket..... I work at an elementary school and the fifth grade wants to build and fly for a science project..... When I found out, I figured I'd volunteer and get back into it myself..... I will definitely post some photos of our school launch next month..... There will be a mixture of home made (paper towel tube and cardboard) rockets and some I purchased for the class.

I plan on hitting Hobby Lobby this weekend with the Mrs and the kids.....

Apogee is great and my go to unless I'm in a highly price sensitive mood or they don't have a particular thing. Then my only go to is Google. I wind up here or there depending who's got what and at what price.

Performance Hobbies, Ken is on the field just about every launch and has what I need right there.

Cool, sounds like you have a great situation. And good on ya for paying it forward and volunteering. Flying with kids is my Fountain of Youth. Takes me right back...

All of the above, plus....

LOC Precision
North Coast Rocketry
Public Missiles
Mercury Engineering

I am surprised no one has mentioned AC Supply for Estes kits and motors. At 40% off MSRP, their prices are hard to beat.

Great thread, I had no idea that there were so many vendors myself.

If you're interested in trying a little different set of building techniques take a look at Mach1 Rocketry's bt size kits.

Oops...

Does this still exist? BSD High Power Rocketry

Hobby Lobby is pretty much it for anything local for me.

Online I have been happy with HobbyLinc.com. Prices reasonable, good selection, reasonable shipping.

Scott now operates as SBR/Fusionrockets (he's one of our regular on site vendors).
