The NC Rocket Shop is going active once again with the creation of the Totally Wicked MEGA TITAN This Rocket will be the Revenge of MISS WICKED for not being invited to the TORNADO party. Our Mega Titan will be about 13 feet tall and 8 inches in diameter. All comments are welcome. I am looking for a few TOTALLY WICKED ARTISTS to submit pictures, drawings and artwork as design enhancements to the lower section of the rocket. This area will be 4 feet long and include the fin section. The upper section will be dedicated to the Miss Wicked graphics being designed at this time. So get out your pads and ideas. We need to have some ART for our rocket. The art area is limited to 4 feet tall and 2 feet width. Let's see who has a good design.

The launch of our MISS WICKED will be in Tampa Florida UA. The shedule for the launch will depend on two things; My ability to get materials needed for completeion of the build and the ability of Jason and Alex to be here at a given time. I expect to have the rocket completed by early October. From there we will see what the scheduling will do for us.

Hello everyone, I am finally finished with the USCG classes for a while and the exam was a killer. I used math I have not seen in years. I have ordered the materials for our new rocket and expect to have the bluk of this in the next 7-10 days. I apologize for the lack of video chats to date but the temps in the Rocket Shop have been averaging in excess of 100 degrees. At 11pm yesterday it was still 96 in there. The AC is being evaluated to see if repair or replacement is in order. I have finished the design calculations for the rocket and have decided on 3 different size motors depending on final weight. I would still like to see if there are any artists out there. we have 4 feet of airframe that will be naked if we cannot get some designs.
I will strive to be better about updates and as soon as I can get the heat issues cleared in the shop I will be making video of the design and build. Michael

Hello Everyone, Apologies for taking so long to get back online. Life has been interesting around here for a while. Surgery, physical therapy, recovery, jerk runs traffic light and T-bones my truck. more recovery, more physical therapy....... At any rate the NC ROCKET SHOP is open again and we are ready to start the MEGA TITAN. I will be making video and posting pictures as things progress. TW has been great about my recovery and we are gonna have another BIG show in Bradenton next year.
