We are dedicated to the continued growth and success of hobby rocketry.
Fade to Black Rocket Works is located in Northwest Ohio, near the Toledo metropolitan area. After fabricating launch equipment for local clubs for over 4 years, we are now offering our products to rocketeers everywhere. Our goal is to produce the best products at the greatest value to help rocketry clubs continue to enjoy their hobby for years to come.
