Model Rocket Building

Connections 1:

Chris Michaelsson has a nice model rocket building blog at http://www.modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com/ . Chris is the founder of Odd'l Rockets and does a lot of work for some of the other rocket manufacturers, whether it is building models or illustrating manuals. One of the features of his blog is that he often steps you through the builds of various models and shares some tips along the way.

Interrogator Build on the Model Rocket Building Blog

Chris Michielsson's Model Rocket Building Blog is an interesting blog that covers building many model rockets from a long-time rocketeer's perspective. Chris is also the owner of Odd'l Rockets, the maker of "odd" rockets and useful accessories for the model rocketeer. Sirius Rocketry carries many of his products in the Sirius Rocketry Online Store in the Odd'l Rockets category.

Interrogator Parts from Chris Michielsson's Model Rocket Building Blog

The Model Rocket Building Blog is currently working on building a standard (18mm) Sirius Rocketry Interrogator. As is typical with the blogs' builds, Chris takes you step-by-step through the build with some techniques, ideas, and observations he has picked up along the way.

Welcome to the Sirius Rocketry Blog!

Hello everyone! 

Dave from Sirius Rocketry here.  Sirius Rocketry has  been around for 14 years now (really - has it been that long?), and we have really enjoyed the friends we have made over the years.  This new Sirius Rocketry blog will be one of the many ways we can talk with our favorite people - our customers.

Every day I come across interesting rocketry stories, new product information, real-space exploration news, news on what my rocketry friends are doing and more.  It is my hope to share some of those interesting items here, and also point you to some interesting things that you may not know about Sirius Rocketry, one of the best-kept secrets in hobby rocketry.

I have been involved in hobby rocketry since 1969 when I was yet a smaller human, and have contributed to the hobby ever since.  The business of Sirius Rocketry is only the most recent form of how I have been able to contribute, but also one of the most rewarding.

It is my hope that I can bring items of interest to the hobby rocketeer here as well as items for the sci-fi and science geek and more. I also have a little rocketry nostalgia that I may dig out from time to time if you are interested.  Of course, some Sirius Rocketry news and business will be mixed in, but this is not the only reason for this blog. And some Sirius Rocketry history tidbits will also find it's way into this blog from time to time.

My favorite things are rocketry history, both real and hobby rocketry, history of NAR, Tripoli, NASA, NACA and more, and what we have done and what we hope to do.

And, a few sci-fi and fantasy shows on the side...

I just hope space and science fans enjoy, and stop by our site once in a while! :-)

David
