Looks at in-flight stability and weathercocking due to wind forces. Guide to rocketry competitions. A brief description of the various events (streamer duration, egg-loft, etc.). Ignition - lift off. Getting started in model rocketry. Part 1. Your first rocket. Ignition - lift off. Getting started in model rocketry. Part 2. Selecting your second rocket and some rocket theory. Ignition - Lift off. Part 1. A brief lession in space model theory. How to design, stability test, and fly model rockets safely. Ignition - Lift off. Part 2. Introduction to contest space modelling. Throwing a wobbly. A look at the design of model rockets to improve stability and performance. Part 1. Tail fins. Throwing a wobbly. Part 2. Nose shapes, weathercocking, over-stability, and damping. Throwing a wobbly. Part 3. A look at boundary layers, Reynolds numbers, drag, the "lovelace effect", etc. Building model rockets. A brief introduction to principles, materials, fins, motor mounts, shocklines, etc. Three contests for free flight model rockets. (1) Longest flight time. (2) Spot landing (which gets closest to target). (3) LeMans start rocket race. How to build a paper model of the Saturn V rocket. How to build a model rocket from scratch using material found at home. How to design and build your own model space ship. Rocket assembly center. This stand provides an extra pair of "hands" when gluing and painting model rockets. Hand-held launch controller for model rockets. Unit features an LED display that counts down from 9-to-0 and then fires current through an igniter to start the rocket. Two LEDs tell you when power is on and verify continuity. There are three switches to turn on the unit, arm the unit and start the timer running. Est cost: $20. Rocket strobe. Launch a model rocket at night and follow its flight by installing this flashing strobe light powered by a 9-volt battery. Launch control box features power on-off switch, launch button, fail-safe switch and LEDs to indicate presence of power. Launch a metric rocket. A simple rocket pattern is given in metric measurements to encourage students to learn metric. Drawings (1/72 scale) of the interplanetary probe "Magellan" and the accompanying IUS booster rocket. Includes color scheme information. European Space Agency's Ariane 4 rocket. Includes tips on detailing the 1/144 scale plastic model kit from Revell. Guidance and instructions for making fiberglass nose cones and body tubes for model rockets. Part 1. Learning from failure. (1) Simple optical guided rocket. (2) Xenon strobe rocket for night launching. How to make and fly a "shingle rocket". Model rocketry for the electronics experimenter. Electronic devices make up the payload for several interesting model rocketry experiments. Circuit for a programmable countdown timer. Add a relay to the timer in order to make an automatic ignition timer for model rockets. Program delays for up to 10 minutes. Schematic diagram of a transistorized light flasher for model rockets. Simple remote launcher circuit is placed close to the launch pad to eliminate long runs of heavy-gauge wire from the battery. Power is applied to the rocket motor fuse some 15-seconds after a switch is closed. Getting started in model rocketry. Build a battery-operated launcher, a remote-control firing station, and a solid-fuel rocket with a parachute return (landing) system. Valkyrie-2, a rocket kit from Vashon Industries Inc., is a liquefied gas model with built-in timer to release recovery parachute. Article and photos describe assembly techniques. Circuit for a digital readout, automatic countdown model rocket launcher. Model rocket launcher circuit allows the launch to be conducted from 300-ft. away. How to get started in model rocketry. Aerial photography with model rockets. Tips on using the "AstroCam 110" model-rocket camera system. Methods for interpreting photos and computing the size of objects on the ground and the altitude of the camera. Taking back the final frontier. Getting started in amateur rocketry. Looks at both solid-fuel and liquid-fuel rockets and prizes being offered for advancements in amateur rockets. | |||||||||
