MOTORS FOR THE ADVANCED ROCKETEERA New Dimension in Model Rocketry
The Secret of North Coast
Rocketry's™ "High Impulse™" High
Performance Motors: For years, the
majority of model rocket engines have
been technically limited to Dor Eclass.
Now,.North Coast Rocketry™ offers com
posite propellant model rocket
motors with more than
four times the power
of a D! These motors
are truly professional
rocket motors scaled
down to model rocket
size. The heart of these
motors is a high impulse composite
propellant which uses a high energy
oxidizer and a rubber-type binder for
maximum performance. This deLivers
more lifting power than was ever possible
