Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Classic Guide by the Father of Model Rocketry Now Completely Revised and up to Date... This new edition of the model rocketeer' s bible shows you how to safely build, launch, track, and recover model rockets-- and have fun doing it. Whether you' re a beginner or a veteran model rocketeer, the Handbook of Model Rocketry, the official manual of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), will become your well-used reference book. G. Harry Stine has been a model rocketeer since 1957 when he founded the NAR and started the first model rocket company. Stine' s Handbook, after satisfying rocket enthusiasts for nearly three decades, remains the definitive resource. Recent technological progress has had a major effect on the model rocket hobby and sport. This revised and updated edition covers such new technology as:
  • revised computer programs that use improved versions of Basic composite propellant model rocket motors
  • recently approved reloadable model rocket motors building and flying large model rockets
  • radio-controlled boost gliders and rocket gliders
  • solid-state, microchip, computer-readable modules used to measure temperature, pressure, acceleration, and airspeed
