COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado USA — If you design and build your own model rockets, you'll be happy to hear that Apogee Components is taking orders for the book: "Model Rocket Design and Construction." This new 160 page book will guide you through your rocket building work — from thinking up the new creation, through the final test-flights.
 Topics in the book include: Designing stable rockets, drag reduction & aerodynamics, special building tools, building techniques, making odd-ball parts, constructing high power rockets, repair techniques, recovery system selection and design, staging methods, clustering rocket motors, and a new chapter on flight testing. The improved 500 term glossary is still the most comprehensive ever created.
This new 2nd edition is 40 pages larger than the first edition and is even more packed with valuable information you need to create safe and successful rockets. Besides dozens of new photographs and illustrations, there is now also a new appendix on rocketry patents -- which you can use to get new ideas for your own creations. There is also two new recovery techniques described that you¹ve probably never heard of before (--please-- don't spoil the surprise for others by telling them — let them read the book for themselves).
The new book is now complete, and Apogee Components will begin shipping out copies on March 18. The cost is $23.95 plus $3.75 for domestic shipping. Orders can be placed by either calling Apogee Components at: (719)535-9335, or using the secure online ordering system of the Apogee Components web site: http//www.apogeerockets.com.

When you download it, you'll see what information is in the book, along with samples of the quality illustrations and excellent photographs.
