About Rocketry Of Central Carolina
Whether you came by this page intentionally or by accident, thanks for stopping by. We are dedicated to the safe and legal pursuit of the hobby of Rocketry. Our main emphasis is safety, it is the most important aspect of anything we do. We are also here to promote rocketry and educate fliers and the public regarding safe construction, launch and recovery methods related to the rocketry hobby.
If you have an interest in model rocketry activity in central
Carolina, please contact us regarding our club.
All are welcome to come out and attend our launches, rocketry people as well as those who
have never witnessed a flight. Our club was founded with several experienced individuals
who put safety first and believe very strongly in positive promotion of rocketry. The club
was also founded on the basis that the general membership should have a say in the
direction of the club as opposed to just one individual. Our club can be contacted for
experienced and safe demonstration launches for large and small groups. If you have access
to a large field, we'd be interested in talking about this with you.
Please check out the FAQ page. Maybe you flew rockets as a kid and have just wandered by. If so, you're in for a big surprise. While you were growing up, so was hobby rocketry! Have a look around, and come join us at a launch!

To help defray the costs associated with using the field, we recommended a donation of $8.00-$10.00 per flyer per day, families with lots of young flyers maybe a $10.00 donation would be good.
