Mach 1 Fiberglass Tubes

The Mach 1 brand of fiberglass tubes are your typical filament wound variety, but have thinner wall thickness so they are a little lighter weight than other fiberglass tubes. They range in size from 18mm to 4 inches in diameter. The nice thing about them is that standard nose cones for thin-wall paper tubes fit on them nicely. Check them all out here.

Mach 1 Fiberglass Couplers

Tube couplers are used to join two tubes of similar diameter to make a longer one. Since these are made from filament-would fiberglass, they are much stronger than paper ones and make really tough rockets. They also make great e-bay compartments because their strength protects the delicate electronics inside, and radio frequency transparent. They are standard size, and fit nicely in both paper and fiberglass tubes.

Heavy Duty Motor Mount Kits

Odd'l Rockets has releasted two new engine mount kits with 18mm heavy wall motor tubes. They also have a shock cord that is mounted behind the aft centering ring so that you can inspect the cord prior to flight if necessary. They both have 18mm motor tubes, and one fits BT-55 (33mm) tubes, and the other fits BT-60 (41.6mm) tubes.

Peregrine Dual Deployment Rocket

The Peregrine is a high-power capable dual-deployment rocket. The purpose of dual deployment is to bring the rocket down faster, so it doesn't drift as far. This is a big rocket, with a length of 68.8 inches and a diameter of 4.0 inches, so it will impress you with its size. It weighs over 5 lbs, so it is not a rocket that will fly so high that you won't see it the whole time it is in the air. It is a slow moving rocket that makes it a great platform for experimentation, like learning how to set up dual-deployment electronics.

Large Printed Nylon Parachutes

The Apogee printed nylon parachutes are a favorite among rocketeers. Now we've expanded the line with three new sizes. There is a 12 inch version that works great in smaller diameter rockets like a BT-50 size tube, and for a pilot chute to pull a main chute out of a deployment bag. We also have two LARGE sizes for high power rockets. We've added a 48 inch and a 58 inch for those rockets that need a delicate landing. They all feature thin-mil ripstop nylon fabric that feels like silk, and a colorful printed pattern that makes them easier to see in the sky and on the ground.

Yagi Antennas

Yagi antennas increase the sensitivity of your radio receivers by amplifying the signal coming in. We now have two different yagi antennas that effectively double the range that you can track your rockets. One is for the 915Mhz frequency Simple GPS Tracker from Apogee, and the other is for the 433Mhz frequency used by the Altus Metrum transmitters.
