Madcow Rocketry Solar Express

Nice, quick boost with a cool fin whistle after burnout. 4 second delay is perfect. Landed safely and close to pad on a 28 'chute. - F36-4 - WAC [More]

Madcow Rocketry Solar Express (Kit)
Review
Brief: The Solar express from Madcow Rocketry is a mid-power rocket kit that flies on 29mm F and G
motors. It's a great addition to an established mid-power fleet, and will fly on a wide range of mid-power motors (or

Pemberton Technologies 3FNC (Kit)
Review
Brief:
The 3FNC is the absolute bare minimum of what a rocket can be and still fly... but that's what makes it so cool! It's
a great performer on a variety of mid-power motors, but can also handle a small H if you're feeling particularly
insane. It utilizes a unique "reward ... [More]

Red River Rocketry SlipStream (Kit)
Review
The SlipStream from Red River Rocketry is a nice 3FNC rocket. I like the look of it, and it was an enjoyable build. This was my first low power rocket in a while, and it was nice to build something small and simple again.
The SlipStream would be a good first rocket and makes for nice flights ... [More]
