Forgive the sidejack, but this is the edition I read. Mr. Stein was (is?) also a prolific sci-fi author.

At one time there was a kit that contained the electronics, sensors, and servos, but it was out of production. With todays inexpensive microcontrollers and sensors it would be pretty easy to design your own. The interesting part is that it is illegal to program a rocket to guide to a particular point in space, which in essence makes it a guided missile. It is legal to provide stabilizing guidance controls.@GaryE will eventually bring us back around on topic but since this thread has been turned into a model rocketry thread , so be it. My first "D" was the pointy nosed Cherokee D . That one was a great flyer. Almost as good as my Astron Sprint with a C6-7 in it. Never have seen or heard of low impulse rockets but it would be nice to actually see them fly off the pad instead of hearing the whoosh and then craning your neck and squinting into the sky to try and spot a speck of nothing two thousand feet away.
I hear you Man ! Maybe the Saturn 1B I've always wanted. It runs on a three "C" cluster.I may just have to build something. Start off with a simple instrumented rocket to explore onboard sensors, but it may be a 401k busting rabbit hole
Me too! White body with a red tank, spin stabilized, launched off the pump.The only rockets I've launched are water rockets which you pump up with air. It was like $5 when I was just a yute. And bottle rockets
