Model Rocketry Those who love to feel the thrill and excitement of rocketry for the first time, should start their enterprise with traditional model rocketry. Before you start headlong, you need to make sure that you have chosen the right model rocket from the right place. You can visit some hobby shops for this purpose. You can easily find Quest model rockets or Estes model rockets from any hobby shops located nearby.
A black powder motor is used often in traditional model rocketry. A black powder model rocket engine is usually integrated with traditional rocket for enhancing its performance. The size of a traditional model rocket can be of different types. The size can range from A to D. Each succeeding letter denotes up to twice the impulse of the smaller letter. This simply means that a D motor has double power than a C motor. You can easily find D sized reloadable model and single-use composite propellant rocket motors from AeroTech. Traditional model rockets can be built easily, as it is more or less a safe job. You will not have to spend a huge amount of money for this purpose because the price of a model rocket engine will not surpass more than a few dollars
Mid-Power Model Rocketry Those, who have become fed up with traditional model rocketry, mid-power model rocketry can be an ideal option for them to spice it up. Mid-power model rockets are usually built up with powerful composite propellant model rocket motors. The size of this model rocket ranges from “E” to “G”. AeroTech is considered to be the largest manufacturer of mid-power model rocket motors, kits, launch pad, rocket propellant and other rocket parts. If the weight of your model rocket propellant is less than 125 grams (4.4 ounces) and the total weight of mid power model rocket does not exceed 1500 grams, you can fly that mid-power model rocket without obtaining any permission prior to flying. However, there is doubt in the fact that building a mid power model rocket is by far the most complex task, as it demands greater understanding of rocketry. Though the price of composite propellant mid-power model rocket motor is slightly high as compared to smaller black powder model rocket motor, the cost per unit of composite propellant mid-power model rocket is less than small black powder model rocket motor.

High-Power Rocketry High-Power Rockets are those which are sanctioned by national organizations and manufactured commercially. These rocket motors are mostly reusable and therefore cost effective for avid rocketeers. The size of a High-Power Rocket motor can range anything from “H” to “O”. Public Missiles and LOC/Precision are thought to be the largest manufacturers of high-power kits but there are other companies too who are manufacturing the same kind of high-power rockets.
These high-power rockets can fly up to 25,000 feet and they can weigh up to one thousand pounds depending on their respective capacity. You need to obtain a certification either from Tripoli Rocketry Association or National Association of Rocketry before purchasing a high-power rocket motor. But this is not the end; you cannot fly them wherever you want. They can be flown only in those areas which are not densely populated. Apart from that, a clearance from Federal Aviation Administration is mandatory as well. As these rockets are powerful, they are fairly expensive as well. The cost of flying these high-power rockets can range anything from $20 to $1,000 per flight. In order to encounter stresses, sophisticated techniques and advanced materials should be used which will in turn increase the efficiency of your high power rocket to some extent.

Experimental Rocketry Experimental rockets are those rockets using rocket motors which are not manufactured commercially. Those who are very enthusiastic about rocketry usually build these experimental rockets depending on their budget and requirements. The size of experimental rockets varies widely. However, the task of building your own rocket motors should not be taken lightly, as you are going to deal with highly flammable materials during this process. Above all, these rockets are perfect for those who are enthusiastic to learn how to make a rocket motor.
AeroTech composite model rocket motors are the most technically advanced hobby motors in the world. These motors use the same solid propellant as America`s space boosters. Pound for pound, this propellant delivers nearly three times the power of black powder model rocket motors, allowing you to fly larger rockets, heavier payloads and achieve higher altitudes than ever before. The AeroTech 18 & 24mm composite propellant model rocket motors sold on ValueRockets.com are intended to directly replace black powder model rocket motors of the same size, but with over twice the power! In addition, the difference in performance and visual and audible effects has to be experienced to be truly appreciated!
ValueRockets.com was created by AeroTech Consumer Aerospace in an effort to introduce model rocket consumers to the benefits of composite propellant model rocketry at rock bottom prices. Composite propellants offer up to three times the performance of black powder by weight, putting the same model rockets much higher in the air. You’ll be amazed at the difference in your flights! Take advantage of this opportunity to purchase model rocket motors and other products at a huge discount and get started in the world of high performance model rocketry! AeroTech believes that exposing more entry-level model rocket customers to the benefits and high performance of composite propellant model rocketry at dramatically lower cost and with easier availability will increase sales of its larger rocketry products and expand participation in the hobby as a whole.
AeroTech composite model rocket motors are produced in a number of different propellant formulations for both reloadable and single-use motors, each with their own unique visual, audio and performance signature. Create your own special effects by choosing the performance, tracking and sound characteristics you desire:
White Lightning™ (W) A brilliant white flame, dense bright white exhaust and a throaty roar are the hallmarks of this popular propellant. Easy to track. Exciting to watch! White Lightning looks and sounds like actual sounding rockets and launch vehicles. Special effects professionals and aerospace companies specify the AeroTech White Lightning propellant to achieve realistic simulation.
Blue Thunder™ (T) Produces a bright violet-blue flame with a minimum of exhaust smoke. These motors provide a higher level of thrust than White Lightning or Black Jack motors of the same total impulse. Blue Thunder is the perfect propellant for high lift-off acceleration.
Black Jack™ (J) and Black Max™ (FJ) Provides the high visibility tracking of dense black exhaust. In addition to a distinctive lift off roar, Black Jack motors give your models lower acceleration and longer powered flight than White Lightning or Blue Thunder motors of the same total impulse. Black Max provides slightly higher acceleration than White Lightning Propellant.
Redline™ (R) Distinctly different from its propellant relatives, Redline provides unique visual and thrust characteristics for larger airframes and performance oriented flyers. The proprietary AeroTech formulation imparts Redline with its signature vivid scarlet flame. Redline’s burning rate lies midway between that of White Lightning and Blue Thunder. Photos don`t do justice to the "laser-beam" intensity and color of Redline… you have to see it to appreciate it!
Warp-9™ (N) If you blink you’ll miss it! Displaying a prominent yellow-orange flame studded with “mach diamonds”, Warp-9 is AeroTech’s fastest-burning propellant. Originally developed for Orbital’s Pegasus® fin motors, Warp-9 is perfect when you need the highest thrust possible from a given motor size. Alternatively, when used in an “endburning” grain configuration, Warp-9 delivers unique thrust curve profiles such as that produced by the 38mm G69N model rocket reload.
Mojave Green™ (G) Mojave Green propellant generates a vivid emerald green flame with brilliant and distinct "mach diamonds" and a moderate amount of smoke. Thrust levels and burn times are similar to those produced by motors using AeroTech`s Redline™ propellant. AeroTech has found that Mojave Green generates the highest total impulse per volume of any AeroTech propellant.
