Upscaling 3d printed rockets with Curtis Heisey
Although scaling is normally hard, Curtis Heisey talks today about an easier way with 3d printed parts! If you want to learn more about scaling then you might like this episode! If you have any questions about this episode, or other model rocketry things, I would appreciate it if you contacted me at bit.ly/realmrocketrycontact. You can find my website, for even more Realm Rocketry, at realmrocketry.com.
What is happening with NAR events with Ed Lacroix
Many people (including me) were curious about what was going on with NAR events. Thankfully, Ed Lacroix, the NAR events chair, gave me the opportunity to interview him! We talked about many questions I have found in the rocketry community about NAR events, so if you are curious about NAR events I believe that you will enjoy this episode! If you have any questions about this episode, or other model rocketry things, I would appreciate it if you contacted me at bit.ly/realmrocketrycontact. You can find me website, for even more Realm Rocketry, at realmrocketry.com. You can find out more about NAR and NAR events at nar.org.
What happens when rockets and lightning meet?
In this episode I talked about a study done by the University of Florida about rockets and lightning and what that means for us sport flyers. If you have any questions about rocketry I would appreciate it if you contacted me at bit.ly/realmrocketrycontact. A really cool thing that just happened is that you can now go to realmrocketry.com to access my website, where you can find even more Realm Rocketry!

3d printing for rocketry in 4 easy steps
Do you want to level up your model rocket skills or speed up building model rockets? If so, then I think that you will enjoy this episode on using 3d printing to do just that in 4 easy steps! If you want to find out more about this podcast then please go to bit.ly/realmrocketry. I would greatly appreciate it if you took just a couple of minutes out of your day to contact me at bit.ly/realmrocketrycontact.
Note: I did not mention the Volexlab Aquila because it does not have as large of a community as the ender 3. One of the nicest things about an ender 3 is that there is a large community with lots of advice and tutorials on how to fix things for the ender 3 specifically.
