For sheer excitement, the launch of a model rocket takes a lot of beating. The tension of the countdown, ignition, a blast of flame and smoke and your creation boosts skywards. The spectacle of a detailed scale rocket hurtling skywards then either drifting down on a recovery parachute or a high performance boost glider circling in a thermal current immediately brings to mind thoughts of interplanetary travel and the infinity of space. Author Stuart Lodge has experienced all forms of model rocketry and built up a depth of experience of the science and practice of this futuristic hobby. This book describes the physics and chemistry for those who want to explore the hobby in-depth but also enables the newcomer to gain the knowledge to safely enjoy it. The whole spectrum of the hobby is covered including: - history - scale - functional model construction - propellants - - stability - recovery - ground support systems -

Mostly for the European Market
15. Juni 2007
Von John A Lee III
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is not a bad book for those interested in rocketry but most Americans would be better served by G. Harry Stine's Book. This one is written from a British perspective for modelers in Britain and Europe. It does a fair job of teaching the basics including some elementary theory but the rules, products and references are mostly foreign to the US market.
Though some might find it worthwhile, most should pass it up for a more useable book.

Pretty average.

The problem for this book is that it is in the same price range as other model rocketry books, but can't compete. Although it does lean towards the European market, it still had useful information for all rocketeers. It is physically a very small book, and is dwarfed beside its colleagues.
I recommend you grab the "Handbook of Model Rocketry, 7th Edition" for the same price. I only got this book to complete my collection of rocketry books; I would have been displeased if I'd paid full price for this tiny little tome.

Good intro reference for international model rocketry.

I first read about Stuart Lodge in Sport Rocketry magazine and in Apogee rocketry newsletters. What I didn't know was his efforts in founding the British Model Flying Association or BMFA, what it took to transport Model Rocketry to the UK and convince officials how safe it is. He acknowledges on page one that G. Harry Stine wrote the seminal text called The Model Rocketry Handbook in 1965 which should be read by all model rocketeers. Think of Stuart Lodges book as a compact extension of the original handbook, with a historical and international view for the 21st century.
Organized in a functional layout with numerous photographs new to myself. As a NAR member I'm interested in contest rocketry and learning about Federation Aeronautique Internationale or FAI style competition. This book shines in the description of the various FAI events and construction techniques of these specific models. Populated with many line drawings especially in the chapter on gliders that provide useful insight on the workings of these models.
This is not a complex text book so it would be especially handy for younger persons just entering the hobby. A scout who is taking Space Exploration Merit Badge or a 4-H rocket club come to mind. I recommend it when building your personal, club, or section model rocket library.
Keep paying forward!
