Building and launching model rockets is one of our favorite hobby activities
right now. While everyone in the family gets into the act in one way or
another, Bdale

## Clubs ##
We have family memberships in (and regularly enjoy flying our
tubing. Local rep Joe Hinton shows up at various launches we attend, and
gets most of our commercial motor reload business.
+* [What's Up Hobbies](http://stores.whatsuphobby.com) is the home of the
+ Polecat Aerospace line of kits, plus Jack carries a lot of other useful
+ bits and pieces.
+
* [Public Missiles](http://www.publicmissiles.com/) make very nice parachutes
and HAMR retainers, which we like for 29-54mm motors.
+* [Aero Pack](http://www.aeropack.net/) makes the flanged motor retainers we
+ like the large projects that contain 75 and 98mm motor mounts.
+
* [Discount Rocketry](http://www.discountrocketry.com/)
seems to consistently have the best prices on kits and motors, but often
are out of stock on things we want. We've bought lots of
and [Rouse-Tech cases](http://rouse-tech.com) from them. And they're
responsive and helpful on the phone.

Lots of people make electronics for use in hobby rockets. This is a brief
about a high power certification and don't have a club nearby, or just like
to read about how other people have done things and why.
-* <i>Topics in Advanced Model Rocketry</i> is definitely not for
- everyone, as it's heavy on math and isn't a "how to" book at all! The
- others are great general books for learning about and gaining greater
- enjoyment from the hobby.

+ software we use when designing rockets, the material here will take you
