book about amateur rocketry
I used to have a PDF of a particular book that I am quite sure I got from this forum (or someone present), only last year it seems. It is a book about
starting your own amateur rocket club and details the process and responsibilities of designing and building an amateur rocket, as well as many
details and tables of fuel burn rates and composition. It was written about 50 years ago I think.
It is not the book in the library called Ignition! , which is the only PDF about amateur rockets that I have been able to find. I also went through my
post history and PMs which turned up nothing. I know I didn't imagine this book, and I hoped it might sound familiar to someone more familiar with
energetics. I was just starting to get serious about it. My personal server drive died and I did not have it backed up recently enough.
Edit: incredible! So many books, that sure will keep me busy. Thank you both. It was indeed the same book.

Probably Brinley's "Rocket Manual for Amateurs", which is available at C.J.'s link above.

^^^^ this. That book is amazing, just don't expect to replicate much of what's in it.
Nuclear physics is neat. It's a shame it's so regulated...
Now that I think about it, that's probably a good thing. Still annoying though.

Very nice find, I'm taking notes :-)
We're not banging rocks together here. We know how to put a man back together.
