Welcome to The BAR
The BAR is QModeling's area for all things "Born Again Rocketry". Here
at QModeling we build some great model rocket kits, but we also like to
support our hobby. To this end we created The BAR as a resource for Born
Again Rocketeers to find interesting and useful information.
We plan to grow this resource over time, so
if you can suggest some additional links, or have some old catalogs
that would be interesting displayed in The BAR please let us know (hpwhite@qmodeling.com).

JimZ Rocket Plans |
A great for finding the actual plans (and
original instruction sheets) for old model rocket kits. This
site covers Estes, Centuri, and more! Including many old
rocketry publications. |

Sven Knudon's Ninfinger Productions |
This awesome site has images of old catalog
(Estes, Centuri, Aerotech, Qwest, and more). Also, there are
a variety of old handbooks and guides from the various
companies. |

Ye
Olde Rocket Plans |
Numerous plans for rocket kits that are no
longer being manufactured as well as other non-kit plans and
out-of-print rocketry publications. They specialize in
archiving the plans for some of the lesser know companies. |

Ye
Olde Rocket Shoppe |
Actually hosts Ye Old Rocket Plans and also
has a number of additional resources for the BAR (Decal
Archive, Cloned Parts Availability, etc). Including the
Ye
Olde Rocketry Forum that many BARs frequent (even us
QModelers). |

Vern
Estes Site |
The man who started it all.
His web site features information about the "Golden Days of
Model Rocketry", and has Lots of articles and even some
video. |
Estes Catalog Archive
Here we are trying to preserve as many old Estes catalogs we can as
PDF files. It is currently a small collection, but we are looking to
expand this, so if you have any catalogs in pdf format, or a hard copy
that can be scanned, please let us know (hpwhite@qmodeling.com).
NOTE
Some of these files can be quite large (5 to 10MB)
and take some time to download
Have a Blast!
