Estes Technical Documents
This is a list of Estes rocketry books that I have either read, heard about or wanted to get. There are several Estes books (PDF format) in here for download. I found them on the web and got permission to post them here. You may view these or download them to use. These are older materials from the late seventies to mid eighties but it is still valid information to use. I hope this information helps you with you rocket building projects and building techniques.
