Spek Rocket Kit

The Spek is a two-stage rocket designed specifically for the National Association of Rocketry’s contest for the “Altimeter Altitude” event. In the single-stage configuration, it can use a 13mm diameter 1/4A, 1/2A, or A-size rocket motor. When adding the booster stage, you can use it in the “B-altitude” event, because two A-size engines added together is equivalent to the power of a “B” rocket motor. If you're a rocket competitor, this little bug will get you to the winner's podium.

TARC Success Pack

This is the success package of the most commonly used parts for the 2017-2018 TARC Competition. This pack of parts is a great way to get your designs "off the ground". It contains the most commonly requested components to build rockets for the TARC competition. There is enough material supplies in the package to assemble two rockets. Now you can test different configurations to create your winning rocket!

Altimeter Pouch

Providing extra protection from the soot and the hot gases of the ejection charge, this vinyl protective pouch was designed for the Jolly Logic series of altimeters (AltimeterOne, AltimerTwo, and AltimeterThree). The pouch from Dino Chutes securely holds the altimeter inside during use and keeps it clean, plus it gives a little extra protection from bumps and bruises of the flight.

Chute Release Protector Sleave

This nifty little pouch for the Chute Release (not included) gives you extra peace of mind by protecting your Chute Release from those hot stray ejection charges that might get past your main chute protection. It's also useful once your rocket lands on the ground and gets dragged by the wind. Created by Dino Chutes, it is constructed from Nomex fabric with a hook and loop closure strap that goes under the tether strap. Bright yellow color, so it adds more visibility to your rocket too.

Guide Chute for Chute Release

Designed Dino Chutes to work with the Jolly Logic Chute Release device (not included). This special guide chute is intended to be deployed during the time your rocket is descending from apogee. It basically helps your rocket descend a little slower and also keeps it from drifting too far. Think of it as a funny looking parachute because it has the DNA of a streamer.

Dino Chutes Parachutes

Apogee Components is proud to begin offering Dino Chute X-Form parachutes! X-form parachutes tend to provide a more stable descent as compared to the typical hexagon parachutes. They can also twist a little bit upon descent, so a swivel type attachment is recommended for the larger sizes. An X-form parachute also tends to pack more tightly than a comparable hexagon shaped parachute because there's less fabric overall.

Blow Mold Transition for TARC

This is our other TARC Transition for the current contest year. It is the easiest transition to use, because being molded from plastic, you only need to connect the tubes on the ends. It fits BT-70 to BT-80 tubes (56mm to 66mm). If your design calls for it, you can cut the ends off for ejection gases to pass through. Large loops on both ends makes attaching parachutes quick and easy.

Fly Away Rail Guides

Fly-Away rail guides are used to launch those rockets that do not have a launch lug from a launch rail. The advantage of removing the launch lug or rail buttons is that it reduces the drag of the rocket and allows it to zoom higher. Likewise, the advantages of using a launch rail to launch the rocket are that they allow the rocket to fly higher without as much weathercocking, and that they don't sway around during breezy conditions. The fly-away rail guides hold the rocket on the rail, and then release the rocket as it exits the rail. These are used whenever you want more performance from your rocket. We have 3 sizes available for small competition style rockets.

Super Loki Dart

This is a 1/3rd scale model of the Super Loki Dart. It happens to be one of NASA's workhorses for lofting small payloads into the atmosphere. This model is both fun and challenging to build. It includes a full decal set, laser-cut basswood fins, quick-change engine hook and detailed instructions! At 3-1/2 feet tall, this is an impressive model that always attracts attention. We are already blowing through our current supply, so order quickly.
