Medium Powered Rocketry

Medium powered rockets can be very large and can get up to huge altitudes therefore you need them to be good, solid and strong. If they are not they will fall apart after a couple of launches. The main suppliers of medium powered rockets are Aereotech and The Launch Pad. Again I have listed what I think is important.

1.  Use 5 min epoxy for every part of the rocket.

2.  Use 1 hour epoxy for the fins and tube couplers after the 5 min epoxy has gone on.


3.  Always use a nylon parachute. Don't even think about plastic ones!

4.  As with model rockets I would suggest adding a bit of extra shock cord.
