All the LOC kits that fall in this category. It’s hard to beat getting everything you need in one package. Some stand outs are; 3” Magnum, Hi-Tech, Nuke Pro Max, Micro Magg For a few more dollars you can get the Athena or LOC IV.

The LOC park flyers are all good performers, and will really scoot when you put a 29mm DMS H in them. The 24mm and 29mm mid power kits from ASP are awesome, and a good bargain for what you get in the package, the same goes for the Rocketarium scale mid power kits. But my favorite is the Estes Doorknob. Build it with one of the plywood fin upgrades that are available, and it is a very solid performer on H and I motors. I have two unbuilt on my build pile that will get a 38mm and a 54mm mount respectively. It’s a solid performer.

Wildman Mini Cherokee with DD upgrade. ($73 plus ~$35) BMS and eggtimer DD kit ($100) extended tube with payload. Loc park fliers with payload section. (well under $100) Loc 3" IRIS and I got my 4" IRIS for $101 plus shipping on sale. It's been a couple yrs, but I got my LOC-IV on sale for under $100. Loc LaserLOC, minimum 38mm. I've been eyeballing some Rocketarium kits based on sounding rockets or missles too. Estes Doorknob, Der Big Red Max, Great Goblin, new Athena H. Any of these with plywood upgrades.

I think LOC puts out a nice product. So my offering is 1 of the 2.2” rockets running in the low $80’s….. or 2 of any of the ParkFlyers. Lots of fun!

I took your $100 budget to build a rocket and went to all my favorite haunts. You can shop at Wildman if you pick from their mini selection or a few options from their sport category. Mini Intimidator or a Sport Punisher perhaps. Mac Performance has a 54mm Scorpion that is within budget. LOC has several selections if you stay at 2.6" or less. Madcow is similar to LOC. In any case, forget dual deploy and anything greater than a 29mm motor mount, with the exception of a few 38mm LOC kits . Don't forget to add motor retention. Love Aeropac, but Estes retainers are a lot cheaper. Thankfully most kits in these sizes come with recovery, but there will be additional cost with Wildman. Currently working on a 2.6" LOC Hawk on sale at buyrocketmotors. Ordered the 38mm motor mount switch out from LOC and stayed under $100.
