Summary: Second Stage: Advanced Model Rocketry
Review: Good for general information, but not specific enough to seriously build a high power rocket.

Rating:
Summary: a good book but not for me
Review: I was the commander of my highschools AFJROTC Rocket Club so my godfather bought em this book it is very informative but if you are just building basic este kits then this is way to advanced for you as it was for me and the other cadets in the club but if you are really into rockets this book is for you

Summary: An Excellent Book for Serious Rocketeers!
Review: The second edition of this important book is worth having as a reference guide and as an idea generator. The author writes clearly and is an obvious expert in the field. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to "push the outside of the envelope" of model rocketry.

Summary: A wonderfully written and an insightful book...
Review: This book was very well written and well worth the money. The ease of reading and the knowledge offered makes this a must have for a novice rocketeer.

I was drawn into advanced model rocketry after building my first couple Estes models. Luckily, I came across this book which gave me valuable information on planning and constructing my own model rockets. Not only that but the book offers hints for succesful aerial photography, computer programs to help you with planning your rocket, plans for theodolites to measure the height of your rocket, launch controller circuits, and a lot more!

If you're looking to make that "next" step into model rocketry, this is the book for you.

Review: This edition has some interesting aspects of model rocketry for the hobbyist who is ready for some new ideas and directions. Unfortunately many of the chapters retained from the first edition are now seriously dated. The photographs are also dated and in at least one case, in the wrong chapter. Most notably missing are any websites for sources, organizations and companies which would expand on a hobbyists knowlege of these advanced topics more effectively than the limited coverage in the book.
