This new edition of G. Harry Stine's classic bible of model rocketry (and the official handbook of the National Association of Rocketry) has been fully updated and expanded by Harry's son Bill Stine, who inherited his father's passion for model rockets.

This Seventh Edition describes the many changes in the hobby that have occurred since the last edition was published, such as new types of rockets, motors, and electronic payloads, plus computer software and Internet resources. This new edition also includes new photos and a new chapter on high-power rocketry.

G. Harry Stine, founder and one-time president of the National Association of Rocketry, started the world's first model rocket company, whose kits are now in the Smithsonian. Bill Stine, also a model rocket expert, is the founder and president of Quest Aerospace Inc.
