Question
I was wondering, where can i buy cheaper A6-4 rocket engines?
I love to launch rockets but its expensive,
And also, from someone on this site they said something about a rocket club
would you be able to find one for me (or give a site to find one)

I live in Hickory Hills Illinios


Answer
Hello Alex - The cheapest you will find will be online. Unless you can buy alot of them locally. The bulk packs are the cheapest per engine. Finding a club should be easy. Ask at a local hobby store that sells model rockets. There is a club finder on the NAR website.

Finding a club, you might be able to get in on group buys for engines. They should be cheaper than anything you can find because you will be buying in bulk.

Good luck with finding a club
