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
