opinions on where to learn model rocketry

[Adityaram]

hey guys do you know any playlists or courses which you recommend to learn model rocketry.

@Adityaram - The best place to start is with a simple, low power kit. Hopefully, there are some available to you.

Check out the current catalog from Estes:

Apogee has a lot of helpful information and videos. Here's a good place to start, it should keep you busy all night:

Start here, on the NAR website: https://www.nar.org/model-rocket-info/

And try out Daniel the Rocket N00b’s blog: http://rocketn00b.blogspot.com/

Another vendor site with some good beginner info (not as exhaustive as what’s available on Apogee’s site but rather good) is Rocketry Works School of Rocketry: https://www.rocketryworks.com/school-of-rocketry/

John Coker’s site is geared towards high power rocketry but there’s plenty of crossover with model rocketry - he has videos on just about every part of building and flying rockets: https://www.jcrocket.com/

Finally, if you’d like to do a build-a-long of any of dozens of different kits with pro builder Chris Michielssen try his Model Rocket Building blog: https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com/

That’s just scratching the surface - this forum alone has hundreds of informative threads covering just about every topic in hobby rocketry.

Buy a beginner kit with clear instructions and start building. Although videos are great for supplementing your learning, nothing is a substitute for building and flying.
Some clubs have make it and take it sessions, where you can learn in a group as you build your first rocket and then fly it with the club. Both NAR and Tripoli have maps to their clubs.

This forum is also a great resource for learning about rocketry. You came to the right place.
