If step 1 is putting together a manufacturer's kit, then step 2 is learning the techniques that are necessary to build your own simple designs. These "next step" videos will enhance your construction skills and show you the secret techniques like making perfect centering rings, super-smooth painting on rockets, applying decals, and airfoiling fins so the rocket flies higher and faster.

The YouTube video you watched on this page showed you just one of the more advanced construction techniques you'll need to step out of ordinary-looking rockets, and into the realm of extraordinary. That is part of the process. You also need some ideas on what makes a great-looking design. The book Model Rocket Design and Construction enhances your own natural creativity by giving you thousands of ideas that you can incorporate into your own rockets. Good engineers always cheat and steal the best practices of other designers (I do).

RockSim is the software tool that binds all your rocketry skills together and speeds the process of designing rockets and getting them to the flying range. It like putting your mind on super-high-octane gasoline. Wherner Von Braun wishes he had something like RockSim when he was designing the V2 missile. You'll create your designs faster, save money by avoiding costly trial-and-error mistakes, optimize the rockets to fly higher, and share them with your friends even before you start building them. Can you see the advantage of that? Over 6,390 rocketeers already have. Join with those others and change the rocketry world as we know it.
