Topics in Advanced Model Rocketry-Available

Cool beans!

A few years ago a team of guys was going to go through that book and fix some of the bugs and republish the book. Whatever happened with that effort, does anybody know?

CRP was asked to pass to NAR. They fumbled.

I wanted to post here that I ordered the paper version and just received it in the mail...WOW. It is a bound paperback, with "slick" cover, like a college textbook. I figured it was a hardcopy of the pdf and would be a poor quality scanned manuscript. But it is a high-quality publication. Note the original hardcover was a photo-image of the original typewritten manuscript.

Total cost was $74, and the book arrived 7 days from time of order!

The errata sheet does not come with the book, but you can download it from

Glad to help.

Have fun slogging through the math!

Years ago I rederived the Fekskins-Malewicki equations described in Topics but did the full derivation(acceleration, velocity, altitude) throughout flight from launch to impact. Been very useful over the years for MR through mid-power for estimating delay times, peak altitude, and occasionally, terminal velocity and time to THUMP! All contained in an ancient programmable pocket calculator with non-volatile memory, along with triangulation formulas.

Don't need no laptop out in the desert...

Post the code.
