F.A.Q.s

Do I need a license to fly model rockets ?

No, you don't need a license although if you want to go into high powered rockets you will.

How much does model rocketry cost ?

Once you have bought a starter set consisting of a launch pad, a launch controller, a rocket and motors you can go and buy other rockets. Some are as cheap as £5 whilst there are others costing £300. It just depends on how much money you have got and how interested you are in the sport.

Where can I launch my rockets ?

A large field will do, if you are launching in a park, tell anybody who is near to you what you are doing 

How high do they go ?

It again depends on how much money you are willing to spend, but Estes and Quest rockets can usually reach altitudes of 300-3000 feet. Whereas high power rockets can go over 20 000 feet and break mach speeds quite easily !!!!
