Review: review - excellent book in new condition, very well packed..there are printing/spelling mistakes exists at few places. Also, I expected the book having color pictures/photographs, but its all black & white. It provides information about tar and nar, unfortunately both of them does not exists in India, as I figured out. Review: Great book. Lots of good info - Great book. Very detailed. Good info

The High Power Rocketry Bible!
This is the absolute best "how-to" book written about high power rocketry! It taught me everything I needed to know in order to obtain my L1, L2, and L3 certifications.

Simplifies The Path To High Power Rocketry!
I’m certified NAR Level 2 and I wish this book was written before I did my certs. It would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. I have High Power Rocketry 2 – the previous go-to for the topic – and found it to be more confusing than helpful, erratic in the order of chapters, and extremely out-dated. Make: High Power Rocketry was refreshing to see come out. I heard the interview the author did on The Rocketry Show and that convinced me to check out the book even though I already have my L2 and have no immediate plans for going for Level 3. I was glad I did. I read the book from the beginning and it was a good refresher of some things I knew, demonstrated some techniques I was not familiar with, and reinforced the practices I am already employing. There were two small things I was not able to find a satisfactory answer to in the book. The first is the tubular Kevlar the author uses as a shock cord protector. He mentions it in one chapter and then shows the technique in another, but never gives a source for the material or the type he used. The other is he references a lower-class FAA waiver as being required for all composite motors. This was the first I heard of this kind of waiver and he refers you to a later chapter for more information but I couldn’t find it. My best guess if that you’re in a certain class of airspace you have to notify the tower? Overall, I recommend this for anyone who is interested in HPR whether they have any certification or not. And if you happen to get this before you go for your cert, Mike is going to save you a lot of time and frustration.
