history: Handbook of Model Rocketry

again with a few updates.

before, if anyone can add

technical/professional journals, but I

but are the books any good?

:)

I believe there was a very interesting presentation on the history of US model rocketry at the British Rocketry Oral History Project conference a few weeks ago.

Chris

chris: yes there was , given by Paul Lavin, before the "meltdown".... I assume this will be in a BROHP proceedings at some future date? I emailed him and got no response...

Not sure if proceedings are published. I'd certainly be interested in buying a copy of them if they were.

For this I would prefer snail mail. E-mail me your snail mail address, and I'll gladly send you a copy.

Send him a copy of the HPR index file too.

On a 5-1/2" floppy!

Splendid! Thanks, Niall.

Can you make it next weekend? I'm feeling the need for another cluster lash-up.

Chris

Yep, I'll be there both days. Dunno about lashup (BlackJack is still many motor tubes short of a heinous cluster, didn't do anything to it over easter), I'm certainly planning a 2-stage clustered flight of ETV2 at bEARS though.

Based on how cool your 6-motor Snitch was, I'm going to have to pick up an Estes Rubicon kit before UKRA and do it as a 7x24mm cluster, should be a quick and easy mod.

Dunno if I've got anything else cluster-able though...

I'm off down to SWARM tomorrow, to photograph/observe rather than fly though.

Cool!

I've got the bi-copter which just needs motor mounts bonding on.
