motors at home here? Do I need some sort of permit?  If it ...

Yo Ken,
I want to rebuild the 54mm carbon rocket that I lost. Do you have anymore
tube, fin can, and a carbon nosecone?
Regs,

Hope all of you across the pond are okay? I've been toying the idea of coming
back to rocketry after a few years out and now im enaged and stuff i got the
time on my hands.
I have been looking at the Congreve/US Rockets - Hi-Test 2225 kit. I was

A little credit where credit is due.  I ordered some Kevlar thread and a
small rocket kit form Apogee on Saturday, with no special shipping added.
My stuff arrived today, very quick, and in the old-fashioned merchant's
tradition of lagniappe, a little something extra- a 36" ...
