Which individual rocket motor?
This came up because I want to know how many flights model turbopumps should

Now I don't expect things to  happen too quickly here, but it may be a

Very disappointed. I bought a rocket and literally worked on it for 24
hours straight. Gluing, priming, sanding, painting, etc...All in all I
spent about $150. Finally got to launch it today. It lifts off and goes
pretty straight for the first 200'. Then the damn thing kicks ...

would somebody that knows please xplain what the major differences there is
between the APCP used in the SPace Shuttle SRb's and the APCP as used in
Sport Rocketry Motors.
Isn't there a number of ingredients used in the SRB that aren't found in the

Yeah I know one is not to mess with motors but is it possible to twist
out a plug in an E9-P to make an E9-0 booster?  A D12-0 and C6-7 combo

I got the Estes Oracle last week. I've been waiting for this a long time. I

Actually the E2X rocket is quite good & well made and flies ...

(ROL Newswire) --  Pyramid Rocketry has recently moved to Connecticut.

I don't think this question has ever been asked, and YES I will tally
the results and post them!
Ok here is the question:
If you had to chose one and only one organization to be a member of for

I took some notes at the meeting of the NAR BoD.  Here they are:
