This starter kit has been the standard introduction to high-power rocketry (motor types H and above) for 20 years, and for good reason. The Initiator rocket is big (39″), looks sharp, and can handle a wide variety of motors with its 29mm reloadable motor casing. You can put the kit together in an evening with 5-minute epoxy. The included pad and launch panel are easy to use and transport; they won’t handle truly huge models, but serious rocketeers generally fly their giant projects on shared club equipment.
