Reload Spacer System for Big Rocket Motors

AeroTech RMS Delay Drilling Tool

This special drill tool allows you to shorten the delay time on Aerotech's reloadable motors that use the RMS or the RMS+ style delay grains. Basically that is everything that we carry here on the Apogee Components web site. You'll now be able to get the perfect parachute ejection right at the apogee of the trajectory.

Rail Buttons are used in place of launch lugs on larger rockets. The reason is that big rockets need a stiffer launcher so they don't sway around in breezy conditions. A launch rail is much stiffer than a circular rod, and therefore are used on big rockets so they launch safely and higher into the sky.

AltimeterOne

See how high your rocket flew! This is the one altimeter you'll use in all your rockets because it does not require a separate payload bay. It is far more durable than any other altimeter because it is encased in ABS-plastic. It also is the first inexpensive altimeter to have a LCD screen that displays the altitude that the rocket reached during flight. Better get two, because your friends are going to steal this out of your range-box!

AltimeterTwo

See how high your model rocket flew, how fast it took off and 8 other flight statistics with this durable altimeter and accelerometer. It uses state-of-the-art technology to measure the atmospheric pressure and G-forces in 3 directions to give you a numeric anatomy of your flight. The results are displayed on a screen so you can quickly see the results of your flight.

Cesaroni (also known as CTI) is a manufacture of reloadable rocket motors. These motors are made in the standard diameters, so they will fit into your current fleet of rockets without having to do any further modifications.

• 24mm Dia. Motors (power: F - G)
• 29mm Dia. Motors (power: F - I )
• 38mm Dia. Motors (power: G - J )
• 54mm Dia. Motors (power: I - K)

Are you looking for a heavy-duty pad that can hold a rail and those big high-power rockets? With its all steel construction, and tilting head, this pad was developed specifically for people that want something that makes it easy to load those oversize rockets. It is the last pad you'll ever buy.

Epoxy Clay

While it has a 1,001 uses around the house, it works great on rockets to make super-strong fillets where the fins attach to the rocket. Better than regular epoxy because it stays in place and doesn't ooze all over the rocket. So you can get perfect fillets on all your fins, without having to do them one at a time.

Nomex Wadding

While not required, this would be a useful addition to this kit. If you don't use a heat shield, you'll have to use disposable wadding to protect the parachute from the heat of the ejection charge. And for a large diameter kit like this, it will take a lot of disposable wadding.

Shock Cord Protectors

While not required, this would be a nice upgrade to most high power rockets. A shock cord protector prevents the shock cord from getting too scorched by the ejection charge.

Want to hold in your rocket engines securely without using tape or other unsightly methods? Then they Aero Pack retention system may be what you're looking for. There is a retainer available for all the common high power tube sizes that we carry (LOC, Blue Tube, and Fiberglass), as well as for the mid and high-power rocket kits on this web site.

Blue Tubes

While they cost a bit more than the paper tubes, Blue Tube is durable alternative to those phenolic and carbon-fiber tubes. Used by the military in tank ammunition, this material is abrasive resistant and will not crack. They are great for high power rockets where you need super durability.

Motor Mount Adapters

These adapters allow you to put a smaller diameter motor into a rocket that has a motor mount tube up to two sizes larger. This is a great way to save money by putting a smaller motor in a big rocket.

Ejection Canisters

These are small containers that hold the black powder ejection charge that is ignited by dual-deployment devices. The canisters are a one-time use item, as they melt from the heat of the ejection charge. Used only on high power rockets.

Tender Descender

This unique mechanism allows you to perform dual-deployment using a single parachute stowage compartment. It works by preventing the main chute from inflating, even though it has been ejected out of the rocket. At the right time (as determined by your dual-deployment electronics), it splits apart allowing the chute to fully inflate to bring the rocket down slowly and safely.

Rocket Scientist Wings

Show others that you indeed are a true rocket scientist by wearing this classy lapel pin. Not only is it a statement about your qualifications, but you can use it to show your generosity and appreciation by removing the pin from your jacket, and awarding it to some deserving young rocketeer when they complete a magnificent launch. Can you see it now? They'll be beaming from ear-to-ear from receiving your recognition, and you'll have earned a warm spot in their heart.
