This page has links for all levels of model rocketry (with emphasis on Large Scale and High Power). It was compiled as an information source for local scout dads wishing to build larger slightly larger rockets.

This water rocket uses 9 - 2 liter soda pop bottles.

This high power rocket is abt 4 inches in diameter and 55 1/2 inches tall.

Most high power launches involve much smaller rockets than the ones below. Look at all the dust kicked up by this one.

This is a large high power model from the Dallas Area Rocketry Society photo archive. (Look for the pickup truck in the photo.)

	Well, not all launches are picture perfect !
	Wrong button! It's usually considered good form to press the launch button BEFORE deploying the parachute!

What goes up generally comes down
(but not always as expected.)

For the artist/craftsman just waiting to surface.
