Wanted to get restarted in rockets

I am sure that one of the members has a web page link, to what I need. EVERYTHING. What group or clubs, should I think of joining? Any model rockets bible, any good trade rags/mags? List of regs and agency that controls them? Source of materials and suppliers.

I have two farms that I can launch from, inbetween crops. 2kX3k ft zone crop land no people I live in the Canton Ohio area. Would like to build a radio controled rocket glider. With the following options. radio control, transponder,maybe wireless vid.

Thanks for any help ED snipped-for-privacy@neo.rr.com

Ed,

Welcome back to the fold :)

When did you first start rocketry and how long have you been away? A whole lot has changed in the last decade or two.
