• All You Need To Succeed 29 August, 2006
Don't bother picking up any other books, this guide will show you how to be successful in attaining your level 1, 2 and 3 certification flights. There's plenty of design theory, tips, tricks and techniques that will save you time and money and have you looking like a pro at the launch pad. You will be inspired by featured camera carrying rockets and "full scale" rockets that produce thousands of pounds of thrust. This guide does touch on hybrid motors but focuses mainly on reloadable solid fuel propellant motors like those available from Aerotech and Animal Works etc.
This guide extensively covers, altimeters, timers and the construction of altimeter bays, ejection charges and dual-deployment recovery systems, motor clustering and performance igniters, motor assembly and cleaning, launch pad procedures, as well as introduces the reader into the world of scratch building and minimum diameter rockets. Get this book and get building!

• The Definative Guide For Hpr 26 June, 2006
I've been launching model rockets for 20 years, but had been wanting to make the leap to HPR for some time now. This book helped me make the transition and evaluate what gear I need to modify vs upgrade. Generally, it answers all your questions about HPR and is a great reference for those wanting to make the move from model to M/HPR.
This book seems to be the encyclopedia of HPR. Great to keep on hand to answer any of your HPR questions.

• High Power Rocketry Introduction 13 November, 2006
Model rocketry has come a long way since the National Association of Rocketry first organized the hobby. This book is a good reference for those with basic model rocketry experience looking for information of how to get involved with high power model rocketry. The book does a great job of covering the basics of "How to get started" while addressing the new set of issues (electronics, construction, recovery, motor assembly, etc) involved with high power model rocketry. The book does not cover much, if any, of the ever changing regulatory requirements associated with high power rocketry. Despite that, the references to other hobby resources make this a good reference for those seeking to 'take the next step' in model rocketry or just understand what it requires and wait for the regulatory environment to stabilize. Illustrations of the 'hows and whys' are helpful. The book offers "rules of thumb" one can use if science and math are not as interesting as building and safely launching a cool model rocket. A strong reference in my model rocketry library.
