Greetz,

the title says it all. Im a total noob and want to launch a little
rocket as a fun summer exploit...one that won't cut off any fingers
preferably.

The estes motors are great because they make for great little
lift-off's
and are very cheap.

See this video, for example:
http://www.jamesyawn.com/modelrocket/finalizing/index.html

The only problem is that they dont ship o/side the U.S. and Im having
trouble finding an alternative motor that is as cheap in price but has
similar power to the b6-4 used in the video above.

Any ideas of what/where I can buy a similar alternative in Canada?

thx a lot,

falafel.

Re: Estes motor alternatives in Canada

I'm not sure your question is clear. Sounds to me like your looking for
Estes motors but they are widely available in Canada. Aerotech composite
propellant motors are also becoming more available in Canada. What
alternative are you looking for?

Re: Estes motor alternatives in Canada

I was under the impression that Estes motors are not available in
canada. Estes website claims they dont ship outside the U.S.

WHere can I buy the estes motors in the montreal region or online?
thx a  lot.

Re: Estes motor alternatives in Canada

The http://www.canadianrocketry.org/ page has lots of info.  They're
having a big launch next weekend not too far from Montreal and it looks
like an event you should not miss.  On the page for that "Rocket Fest
2006" launch (http://www2.tripoli-quebec.org:8081/info-rml-hprdoc.htm )
you'll find a link to their vendors page at

    Happy flying!

Re: Estes motor alternatives in Canada

Maybe you could try, say, a hobby shop..?! Estes motors are widely available
in Canada.

And why would a model rocket cut off your finger?
