Tips and Techniques

These techniques are collected and written for beginners, BARs or anyone

with questions or looking for new construction ideas.

Most methods I’ve learned in over 40 years of trial and error.

Other tips I’ve picked up from Internet sites and Rocketry forums.

I’ll try to give credit where credit is due.

Some might disagree with my building techniques. Many of these methods have been written about many times before. But if you pick up a few new ideas, it’s all worthwhile.

All these techniques can be applied to model rocket kits and scratch builds,

Low Power to some Mid Power rockets, launched using A through F engines.
