Estes Designer Special
For the designer in all of us, this one is for you. At a very reasonable price, everyone can be a "rocket scientist" now. You are assured hours of designing and building fun with the Designer's Special. Estes model rocketry is recommended for ages 10 and up with adult supervision for those under 12. Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly. Tools, construction and finishing supplies sold separately. In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters and recovery wadding are required - sold separately-unless otherwise specified.
 
Model Rocket Design and Construction. How to create and build unique and exciting model rockets that work Create Fantastic Rockets That Really Work! This book has been written for modelers who have experience building kits, but want to build their own rocket designs. Here, you'll learn some of the techniques that aeronautical engineers use to design and build real rockets and aircraft.
These basic guidelines will allow you to construct successful and safe rockets without going through an expensive trial-and-error process. Your rockets will look fantastic, fly to high altitudes, and will be safely recovered to be launched again and again.
This is the most up-to-date book ever written on the subject of model rocket design, with 566 drawings and 175 photographs to help you understand the in-depth topics. You'll also learn: how to design scale model rockets, payload carrying rockets, and the techniques of successful clustering and staging of rocket engines. Also, the different types of rocket recovery systems are extensively discussed, with extra emphasis on gliders - and the first and only guidelines ever written on the subject of helicopter recovery. The glossary of over 500 rocketry terms is still the most extensive ever printed!
This new third edition doubles the size of the second, and has information-packed pages that contain dozens of new illustrations, photographs, and a chapter on "Flight Testing." There is also a section on rocketry inventions to give you even more ideas for making awesome looking rockets.
Whatever your rocketry design needs, this book is for you.
