Handbook of Model Rocketry

By G. Harry Stine

G. Harry Stine, founder and past president of the NAR, started the first model rocket company whose kits are now in the Smithsonian. An engineer, science writer, and science fiction author, he is one of 50 U.S. space pioneers honored with a silver medal by the U.S. Army Association. More than 35 years after his first model rocket went skyward, and over 500 million model rockets later, Stine continues to design, fly, and teach others how to do it
FEATURES: National Association of Rocketry (NAR) official handbook. 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, this book will become your well-used reference book. 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. -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.
