Useful websites

A lot of learning goes on online in rocketry, whether you're just starting building rockets or if you have been in the hobby for a while. Here are my personal favorite rocketry websites. If you just want to research a kit you are thinking of buying, if you dont know how something works or if you just need some build tips.
Here ya go...

EMRR (RocketReviews.com)
Emrr is a website with lots of tool, tips and reviews. With more then 4000 reviews of different rocketry products. Whenever I am deciding what kit to buy, EMRR is the first place I look. Most reviews contain details on how to build the kit, the Pros and Cons, The parts list and if the reviewer thought it would be a good buy. Along with thousand of reviews, They also have a "hints and tips" section, motor information and more. I could spend hours on the EMRR Website.

Thrust Curve
Thrust Curve is an site that has more motor information then a rocketeer could want. Motor info contains thrust curves, total NS, Average NS, Propellant type, Propellant Weight, etc. Along with motor info they have a quick and dirty simulator.

The Rocketry Forum
The rocketry forum is a great place for asking questions, even stupid ones.You'll get all the information you need and more! Eveyone is very friendly and helpfull. Along with asking questions you can explore the galleries or buy or sell something on the yard sale. Having an account is a must.

Info Central
A great place for tips on just about everything.

Apogee Components
Apogee is both a vendor and a place to learn something. They have an extensive collection of newsletter articles that are well worth the read. Along with the newsletter articles, they have a good collection of how to videos.

Rocketry Planet
 Rocketry Planet has tons of articles, builds, news stories, etc.

If you have any more you want me to include, please leave a comment below and I'll include it.
