getting started hobby rocket categories model rocketry as children many of us launched model rockets today these rockets are sold by estes and quest estes and quest rockets are available in most hobby shops these rockets use black powder motors up to d 20 n-sec size each succeeding letter denotes up to twice the impulse of the smaller letter a c motor is up to twice as powerful as a b motor these rockets usually weigh a few ounces and fly less than 2000 feet high which allows them to be flown in nearly any open space without special permission model rockets are usually simple to build and are quite safe motors are relatively inexpensive costing only a few dollars apiece mid-power rocketry beyond model rocketry is what many call mid-power rocketry rockets in this category typically use black powder or composite propellant motors in the e through g sizes the largest manufacturer of mid-power kits and motors is aerotech consumer aerospace mid-power rockets also generally weigh
