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.

• 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
