Build Model Rockets

建立一個模型火箭是一個有趣的消遣

Building a model rocket is a fun pastime, but it can be easy for someone new to the hobby to make a mistake. This guide is intended to help those who are new to the hobby complete all steps required to build a basic rocket called the Big Bertha. This rocket can be purchased in most Hobby stores Attached to this step are the safety guidelines for building a model rocket.

Have you ever wanted to try out rocketry but didn't want to go out and buy a kit? In this Instructable I will show you how to design and build your own custom rocket, using old manila folders and other house-hold materials. This process is highly customizable, and I recommend you design your own, as mine did not turn out being very good and required a good bit of adjustment.

The first thing about model rockets is building time. This is a satisfying hobby just in itself. It's just a lot of fun to make rockets. Some people don't even launch them -just put them on display.

But, making them is just half the fun because, for me, it is very rewarding to take your rockets out to a big open field and launch them off. This isn't just an arts and crafts type hobby where you make things. It is an active hobby where you make things that do things: Launch into the sky at high speed.

I have lots of model rocket stuff here on this website so browse around and have some fun. I also have bought and built this Estes Tandem X Kit so you can get tutorials and watch videos.

You can get or make all kinds of rockets and one of the more popular ones is the type of rocket that has an onboard video camera so you can get a video of it as it goes up and comes back down. There are gliders and star wars type rockets. There is just a great variety. With a little bit of reading and some basic cardboard tube supplies you can also design your own rockets.

Alright, let's get to it!
