I have lots of model rocket stuff here on this website so browse around and have some fun. It is an active hobby where you make things that do things: Launch into the sky at high speed. This isn't just an arts and crafts type hobby where you make things. Some people don't even launch them -just put them on display.īut, 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 is a satisfying hobby just in itself.
The first thing about model rockets is building time. 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. 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 rocket can be purchased in most Hobby stores Attached to this step are the safety guidelines for building a model rocket. 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. Building a model rocket is a fun pastime, but it can be easy for someone new to the hobby to make a mistake.
