May 1969 American Aircraft Modeler - Airplanes and Rockets3 Table of Contents

These pages from vintage modeling magazines like Flying Aces, Air Trails, American Modeler, American Aircraft Modeler, Young Men, Flying Models, Model Airplane News, R/C Modeler, captured the era. All copyrights acknowledged.

Join the National Association of Rocketry - Airplanes and RocketsThe National Association of Rocketry (NAR) has been around since 1957. At one time, the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) was pretty tightly joined with them in covering model rocketry events and promoting model rocketry. In fact, for while there was space allotted in American Aircraft Modeler, AMA's monthly magazine, for model rocketry. From February 1968 through August 1969 there was a newsletter feature entitled "Model Rocketeer" in addition to a separate article, often written by G. Harry Stine. A complete list of all editions is provided below.

Sport Rocketry, Part 1, October 2006 - Airplanes and RocketsThe NAR and AMA still work together. For example, the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) delegates authority for aeromodeling and spacemodeling to the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), who has in turn delegated Spacemodeling (model rocketry) to the NAR.

A growing organization of 40 active members, AAR has lots of activity, including workshops, classes, launchings, films, building equipment.

A good little item from AAR that impressed us when it came across our desk recently was an information sheet they give to new members, news media, or officials seeking information on the organization. We thought it was a good idea because the obvious question people ask when you talk up your section or NAR is: "What do you do for activities?" Here's AAR's:

History: For the past three years the AAR has been an active section of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). Its objectives are to advance the aims of the NAR in the Greater Annapolis area, to operate and maintain a model rocket range in accordance with the NAR Safety Code, to hold business, social, technical, and competitive events for all those persons interested in model rocketry.

Activities: AAR has participated in the last four national model rocket meets, at Aberdeen, Md.; Wilmington, Ohio; Mankato, Minn.; and Wallops Station, Va. The section looks forward to an active 1969 contest year, including several demonstrations, meets, an astronomical observing session, sailplane flights at Wallops Station, and again, the annual nationals (to be held at the USAF Academy at Colorado Springs, unless changed). (AAR adds the line, "Want to get into the picture?" and several persons to contact.)
