Originally we decided to standardized the motor mounts of our .99 diameter kits so that we could produce interchangable stage kits to work with a variety of rocket kits.
Early on we released the Boostar-C and Boostoh staging kits to fit the .99 diameter rockets including the Centauri, Super Centauri, Super Tooboh and Sword kits. All of these flew very well on either the Boostar-C or the Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473030066087207649.post-47564927267895760342009-11-01T17:50:00.000-08:002013-02-24T10:08:06.445-08:00Understanding Model Rocket Stability
Model rockets are stable when they move under power in the direction that they are initially pointed. Similar to an arrow, a model rocket has fins on a long body. The fins add a large surface area to the rear of a model rocket that increases the air resistance and moves the center of this resistance towards the rear of the rocket. The center of all the resisting forces on a model rocket is Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473030066087207649.post-83505877767879547532009-11-01T10:53:00.000-08:002013-02-23T20:32:20.105-08:00What’s Important for Model Rocket Performance
I get many questions from beginning model rocket modelers that want to know how to design model rockets for the best altitude performance. This interest varies between those who just want to get the best performance from a custom designed rocket to those who are involved in Science Fair or school projects. Most often the focus of the questions are on design issues associated with aerodynamic Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473030066087207649.post-13001987115197022672009-10-27T20:41:00.000-07:002013-02-24T10:04:38.770-08:00New Model Rocket Kits at ModelRockets.us
After many years of being involved with educational model rocketry...we decided to offer our own kits specifically designed for the teachers, students, scout troops and youth groups!
We listened to many of you who are involved in educational model rockety programs and decided to do things differently. We learned that there was concern about younger students and scouts using cutting tools...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
