Rocket Store was started by myself Richard Brown and for years I wanted
to get involved in rocketry, but due to work commitments never found the time. Then one
day a friend forced me to, by giving me a model rocket gift for a birthday. That was it,
I was hooked, 0 - 100mph in about a week.
For a while I carried on launching model rockets on family farmland, but
then I started looking into the UKRA
and local clubs.
I have now regularly attended clubs for a few years now.
I am Level 3 RSO certified within UKRA and was the first rocketeer to take their Level 3
flight using an N motor in the UK in our famous
Corpulent Stump rocket.
I found that during my take up of the hobby it was difficult to see
what you were purchasing. The only time to actually see goods was at a vendors stall at
a launch. I missed the opportunity to be able to see and touch things, so Rocket Store
was born.
