New Way Square Rockets

[deandome]

There's a thread on this in "Reviews", but I thought this merited more attention than that less-populated forum affords...

New company vending new, square-tubed rockets @ NSL.... https://www.newwayspacemodels.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=1

I picked up the Mark 4 for $16 (they don't seem to have prices or buying options on the website yet), and it looks pretty sweet. The tubes are VERY strong...I don't think most could bend them between thumb & forefinger...try saying THAT about a1" diam. Estes tube...an they were made specifically for these rockets, they're not re-purposed. Iffen I was them, I'd sell the tubing on it's own, too: it has lots of potential in scratch-builds!

I'll let you know how it comes out, but the uniqueness & quality (laser-cut fins, great instructions, kevlar cord) seem to bode well for this startup. For what it's worth, this is the first LP rocket I've purchased in 3 years.

It'll be neat to see what they do with this, if they can break away from just 4FNC, the "2x4" 2 stage section looks pretty interesting.

Rick Randol, a k a Bluegrass Rocket, posted an announcement of his new company on YORF last week. The entire thread is here:

He provides a little bit of information about the tubes here:

I think that his kit designs are very cool and his overall concept is awesome.:clap: I couldn't make it to NSL, but I'm itching to get my hands on those three kits!

Have you looked at the launch lug yet? That's my favorite part.
