Most paper modeling that I have done has to do with the paper airplanes that I flew with my Dad as a kid. I just recently (within the last year) got back into Model Rocketry and am very interested in something that I can do between rockets. Something a tad...cheaper....though not any less challenging. Hopefully this is it!

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of Stomp Rocket fans here. I think you may enjoy them

Welcome to the site. Some of the 3D paper airplane models available can be used as gliders. Someone a few years ago even used rubber tubing for jet propulsion in some.

Welcome from Papillion!! It's great to have another paper folder here in the Cornhusker state.

Welcome! Try the stomp rockets for (cheap) projects in between your fiery launches.

Thanks, Yogi! I'm always looking for things like those stomp rockets! My niece and nephew will love launching those with me! The Nike Zeus B, and the Bomarc are some of my favorite rockets, I might add!

Don't neglect the comments about trimming the Bomarc in the download. Flight surfaces that give a nice glide can result in a really random launch at speed.

I actually read over that section quite a bit. I've been wanting to do a Bomarc rocket kit, and those are some of the same concerns. Actually working on a Japanese Zero that I got off of a tip on a thread on the rocketry forum I belong to.
