Real rockets now paper COOL!
Just signed up and this looks fun. I am still active in high power rocketry but I think paper builds will be just as complex.
Ready to learn |

Welcome!
Great part about this hobby? you don't just assemble parts, at first you have to make them from a flat piece of paper. Pre-forming parts is a very good skill to learn fast. Have you seen Ken West's 1/12 scale Apollo Command Model? Apollo command module - 1:12 Mike |

Hello Greenman,
welcome from Italy! I know that there are a lot of rocketry associations that build real rockets, using synthetic solid state propellant, that reach altitudes like 12 km!!!

Glad to be here
I have been involved in rocketry since childhood with Estes models. Now my rockets go to almost thirty thousand meters and break the sound barrier. The only drawback is the $600 roughly for each launch..
Paper modeling is gonna save me a pile of money and I don’t need to get FAA permission. I use solid fuel mostly but sometimes hybrid motors using fuel grains plus liquid nitrous oxide. The SpaceX birds run on kerosene and densified liquid oxygen |
