We are currently arranging for a shipment of Squirrel Works rockets to wing their way to Kent. These great futuristic high fliers will be part of our regular stock.

More Estes and Top Flight Recovery stuff has arrived, but we are still waiting for more LOC stuff. Also we are waiting for our first shipments of DG & Rocketry and Quest Aerospace to arrive.

We are all out of Estes Snapshots and the main distributor is all out too. We are awaiting more info.

Our goal has always been to keep the majority of our product range in stock at all times so that you dont have to wait. But unfortunately due to a large number of orders we have run out of a few items at the moment, namely LOC and TFR nomex firewalls and also a few models of Estes rockets. But rest assured a new shipment of TFR nomex firewalls will arrive this week, more Estes will arrive on Tuesday this week and more LOC stuff end of next week.

Our first shipment of Quest Aerospace rocket kits should be arriving soon. Quest make some great model rocket kits from Easy to Skill Level 4. We have almost 90% of their complete range on their way so there will be lots of choice.

We have been able to negotiate a slightly better rate for the most common courier service. This means it has dropped from £13.58 to £11.75. We will continue to badger the courier so we can get it below £10 if possible.

A large batch of Top Flight 1.1oz ripstop chutes of various sizes are now in and will be added to the store in the next 24 hours. They are just as good value as Recovery technologies and also great quality, so we have no problem recommending them instead of Recovery Technologies. We will leave what we have left in stock of the RT chutes on the site, but sizes will be removed as they are sold. 1.1oz ripstop chutes are ideal for model rockets and also for minimum diameter rockets because they pack into a very small small.

If you are still using the chute that came with your Estes rocket, just bin it and get one of these.

We are getting several complaints from customers that they are unable to pay with their credit card on the Paypal site. Paypal's site seems temperamental and sometimes hangs or just fails. This doesn’t seem to effect people paying using a Paypal account, just customers paying by credit card who don’t have a Paypal account.

Due to the unreliability of that part of Paypal's service, we are currently changing to Nat West streamline for in store card payments and Protx for online card payments. This will improve the reliability of credit card transactions. We can only apologise to customers who have tried to order unsuccessfully.

More new products added, we now have some of Colin Rowes retainers in stock. The coned retainers look particularly smart.

Our first stock of hobby tools and glues has come in. We now have enough epoxy to build a small village.

Unfortunately we are unable to get any more Recovery Technologies parachutes once our stock is out. This is due to RT signing up for an exclusive deal with another rocket vendor. However Top Flight Recovery chutes are just as good and still made of 1.1oz ripstop nylon in Orange. TFR chutes should arrive next week.
