Guided/stabilized model rocket

[William Carter]

Has anybody built a guided or auto stabilizing model rocket? How could this be done? How would the aerodynamics of actuating fins? How would thrust vectoring work?

This is just one of a few vendors who are creating thrust vector controls:

Jim Jarvis has an extensive project on the subject of active vertical stabilization.

Extremely cool. But why don't they sell the software???

For vertical landing "simulation", perhaps I could attach a big parachute to my flip flyer, so the wings are then landing legs instead...mmm...

Having seen in another thread the OP wants to develop a guided rocket to try to hit another object in the sky (home in on another rocket), I have deleted what I posted here.

And I encourage everyone else to NOT HELP HIM.

He crossed a very dangerous line by expressing that as his intent.
