New Model Rocket Construction Website - How to Build Model Rockets
 
Hi Gang,
Update:
December 18, 2011 -
This site was donated to the NAR and is located is now located:
http://www.nar.org/educational-reso...ing-techniques/

I tried to answer many of the questions I had when I got back into the hobby a few years ago. New materials, glues - that sort of thing. There is also two pages on budget rocketry.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Great job, Chris! I'll add a link to your site to YORS at my next update.

Very nice!

Some of your tips are ones I've been doing for many years with great success.

Good work!

Great work.

Although I am by no means a "craftsman", I am getting better. Some of the tips you described are ones with which I am familiar, some are new and several are ones that I "thought I knew" but reading your text and seeing you photos has provided me with a new interpretation, espessialy with the filling.

Thanks. I look forward to trying some as soon as I can get back to work.

Great website! I sometimes get e-mails from model rocketeers in the area (those I haven't met or seen, yet) needing tips and directions on the "how tos" of building model rockets. Now I can just send them a link to your website. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Chris,

Really well done.

What a great resource to be able to point folks to.

Thanks.

Great stuff Chris! I've added your site to my Rocketry related favorites, which is the highest compliment I can give! :)

Yep, I've bookmarked it too. I'm going to have to find that sanding block you mentioned.

Great site,, Thanks. :)

One problem is when I view the pages some sentences overlap others. I know it is probably some setting on my end but for the life of me I can't fix it. I have seen this before on other occasions. Anybody have a suggestion.
It also happens when I try and print the page.
I also have tried to change the font size and the view size to no avail.
