Want to build and launch your own rocket?

Our monthly launches of egglofters and large rockets are great spectator sport and everyone's welcome to turn up at our launches to watch for free.

But, if you want to get serious, learn some real "rocket science" and (pardon our pun) have a blast, check out our brand new, fly-it-the-same-day-you-build-it
