Aerobee 300

The Aerobee 300, or "Spaerobee", was first flown in 1958. Eleven were flown by the Air Force and Navy with the last taking flight in 1965. The Aerobee series of rockets were designed by Aerojet General and is considered a descendant of the WAC Corporal. Produced by Aerospace Specialty Products, this kit is 1.89" in diameter and about 2 1/2 feet tall and features thru-the-wall laser-cut plywood fins, big balsa nose cone, and pre-rounded basswood conduits.

Aerobee 100 Junior

The Aerobee 100 Junior, was first flown early in 1958. This vehicle was designed by Aerojet General to be an inexpensive rocket to fly payloads of 50 - 100 pounds up to 90 miles. Most of the 20 produced used a solid-fuel booster, but two were actually sea-launched as a single-stage rocket (which makes this model eligible for NAR Scale competition). This kit is 1.89" in diameter and about 2 1/2 feet tall and features thru-the-wall laser-cut plywood fins, big balsa nose cone, and pre-rounded basswood conduits.

Black Brant IV

The Black Brant IV is a Canadian sounding rocket designed to launch payloads to over 500 miles high. First flown in 1964, the two-stage rocket was used into the 1980's. Over fifty flew from launch sites all over the world, including Peru, Spain, Norway, Greenland, and the U.S. among others. This single-stage scale kit from Aerospace Specialty Products is nearly three feet tall and features a balsa transition and hard balsa nose cone, laser-cut basswood fins, water-slide and self-adhesive decals and quick-change engine hook.

Competition Parachutes

Are you in NAR competition? You'll love these ultra-light parachutes made from highly reflective polyester plastic. They are only .00025-inches thick, so they are low weight and fold into a compact tube quite easily. They are prized by competitors because you can put a huge chute into a small tube, which gives you the longest times in the air. There are 11 different chutes to choose from for all your competition needs.
