 Associations

www.canadianrocketry.org
The website of Canadian Association of Rocketry (CAR). Excellent information here on regulations, certifications, motor testing data and Canadian rocketry clubs.

www.tripoli.org
The Tripoli Rocketry Association is the amateur high power rocketry voice in the United States. Many Canadians hold Tripoli memberships in addition to CAR because most high power launches in Canada are now held as Tripoli events.

www.nar.org
The National Association of Rocketry (NAR) is the largest and oldest sport rocketry organization in the world. While NAR activities includes both model and high power rocketry, NAR’s strength is in model rocketry. Many American’s have both NAR
and Tripoli membership.

Vern’s Rocketry site is packed with pictures, construction tips, photos and links. A great site to visit on a windy afternoon when you can’t fly rockets.

 

 

Manufacturers:

www.pro38.com
Cesaroni Technology’s Pro-X motors are in some opinion, the best general purpose AP motors available. Simple to use and extremely reliable, we have never seen one fail to light. From “G” to “O” impulse. New sizes and propellant formulations are available every year.

www.hypertekhybrids.com
Cesaroni Technology’s HyperTEK hybrid motors are the best hybrid motor system available. The motors are simple to use and extremely reliable – just like the Pro-X AP motors. Everyone who has flown a HyperTEK hybrid motor agrees that it is more fun to fly hybrids than it is to fly AP motors.
