Does anyone know of any stores in Virginia that sell HPR motors? I am striking out everywhere I call and wondering if anyone knows of any.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Usually, it's VERY hard to find a physical store that sells any rocketry supplies for mid-power (MPR) and high-power (HP) rocketry.Does anyone know of any stores in Virginia that sell HPR motors? I am striking out everywhere I call and wondering if anyone knows of any.
Hey thanks for the reply! Probably should've said my location in the original post but I'm mainly located in the Virginia Beach area, however go to school at JMU in Harrisonburg so honestly anywhere in the state is goodWell, I know a guy but he is local only when he shows up at a launch. Where are you located? Ken at Performance hobbies hits many of the local launches. I fly at Battlepark and he is there fairly often. He is scheduled to be there Sat and Sun, Mar 23-24. It’s in Culpeper. Not sure where you’re at, so I have no idea if it’s close or not.
Thanks! Thats about an hour away from my college so this intrigues me, is there any way of knowing what motors he's bringing prior or is it usually random?Ken from Performance Hobbies should be at the Novaar launch on Saturday the 16th. The launch is held at Great Meadows Event center, just north of Warrenton Va.
Go to the Performance Hobbies website, his cell number and e-mail are on there, call, text, or e-mail him with want you want and he will let you know if he has it or has a close alternateThanks!

This above. I’ll say his website isn’t always current as he hits a ton of launches and his inventory doesn’t always get updated. Ken is good at replying to emails. I saw him two weeks ago at Battlepark and he had a decent selection of DMS motors. He was still waiting on a rather large order from AeroTech for RMS stuff. So he was about out of reloads but had a nice selection of disposablesGo to the Performance Hobbies website, his cell number and e-mail are on there, call, text, or e-mail him with want you want and he will let you know if he has it or has a close alternate
I don't remember this but it does sound like me. I'm a big fan of supporting a vendor that puts in the time, money, and effort to show up to a launch. It's important for the hobby to have those guys there and I want make sure it's worth their time.You got to watch him though! He kept pressuring me to buy a K-motor (and @tHoagland too), but I stayed strong and only walked away with a few G’s, a couple of I’s…oh, and that one H motor.
Ken is also at the MDRA launches. These are West of Dover Del. on the Eastern Shore in Maryland.Hey thanks for the reply!

Ken shows up to many of our SEVRA launches, and we're located in VAB and launch out of some fields in NC.Hey thanks for the reply!
