This book is a detailed, illustrated guide to getting involved in model rocketry--the fun, exciting hobby for kids and adults!

The fun begins when you find a rocket that fits your budget. You take it home, assemble the parts and install its parachute. The excitement begins when you take it out to a launch site, install the ignitor and a black powder or composite motor. The excitement peaks when you count down to blastoff and watch your rocket zoom into the sky.

Ten, nine, eight, seven... swoosh!

You realize you've been holding your breath, so you let it out as the parachute carries your rocket back to Earth. Are you going to do it again? Oh yeah!
