Despite my earnest pursuit of the model rocketry hobby, my efforts have been continuously undermined by the lack of one seemingly trivial thing: a launch site. This blog will not be focusing on this regulatory struggle (though, that would make a good post). Instead, I will collate some of the interesting physics I have learned regarding model rockets. The reader may rest assured, however, that my posts about my RC plane hobby will continue shortly. (Claudius is the next plane in construction and should be lighter than Caligula, Tiberius, and Augustus.) Center of mass (CM), center of gravity (CG), and … Continue reading Some physics pertaining to model rocketry
