Hello All,

I have asked this question to two different people, and in line with human 
nature, got two different answers...LOL! So I put this out to everyone here in 
hopes that I can reap the benefits of a "majority rules" line of responses.

I am looking for books, web pages, videos, etc. that will teach us most 
everything we need to know about model rocketry. I have found plenty of videos 
of folks building and launching rockets, but not any that have gone in depth 
into the details of the hobby. Examples would be Calculating COG & COP, Motor 
Designations/Properties/Characteristics, How to Determine Stability, etc. If 
anyone can please point us in the right direction to find this type of 
material, we would be very thankful. 

We have been told both that those types of materials do not exist (have to 
learn by trial & error), which I don’t really see being accurate. And we have 
been told that they DO exist BUT not sure where to locate them.
