What You'll Find in this Book
I put together the first edition of Second Stage: Advanced Model Rocketry in 1985, as a guide to some of the more interesting activities the model rocketry hobby offers. These include scale modeling, aerial photography, and instrumentation & telemetry, among other things.
The 2nd edition offers all that and more--and has been carefully and completely updated and expanded by Tim van Milligan, himself an avid hobbyist and model rocket manufacturer (see his Apogee Components home page at http://www.apogeerockets.com). Our expertise and that of our contributors is presented in an easy-to-read format, with lots of photos and illustrations (including several useful plans).
The goal? To help you get the most out of the hobby--enjoy, and fly 'em high!

The second edition of this important book is worth having as a reference guide and as an idea generator. The author writes clearly and is an obvious expert in the field. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to "push the outside of the envelope" of model rocketry.

Format:Taschenbuch
This edition has some interesting aspects of model rocketry for the hobbyist who is ready for some new ideas and directions. Unfortunately many of the chapters retained from the first edition are now seriously dated. The photographs are also dated and in at least one case, in the wrong chapter. Most notably missing are any websites for sources, organizations and companies which would expand on a hobbyists knowlege of these advanced topics more effectively than the limited coverage in the book.

This book was very well written and well worth the money. The ease of reading and the knowledge offered makes this a must have for a novice rocketeer.
I was drawn into advanced model rocketry after building my first couple Estes models. Luckily, I came across this book which gave me valuable information on planning and constructing my own model rockets. Not only that but the book offers hints for succesful aerial photography, computer programs to help you with planning your rocket, plans for theodolites to measure the height of your rocket, launch controller circuits, and a lot more!
If you're looking to make that "next" step into model rocketry, this is the book for you.
