An easy way to test the general airworthiness of a rocket design is to tie a string around the middle of the rocket so it hangs "balanced". Then swing the rocket around your head in a big circle (kinda like twirling a lasso). If it's aerodynamically stable, the "nose" should always remain pointed "forward" as it goes around in a big circle.
any model you want
A physicist specialized in aerodynamics
the hypothesis of rockets is nothing
Which of the following are the reason for using a model?a) A model is quicker and easier to build than the real thingb) We can use the model as prototype of the systemc) We can use a model instead of building the real thingd) We can use a model in simulations to test our ideas

Apogee Rockets, Estes Rockets, Discount Rocketry, Rocket Fun, and Red Arrow Hobbies are just a few of the stores that sell model rockets and model rocket supplies.
There are mainly two types of model rockets: pre-assembled or ready-to-fly rockets that require minimal or no construction, and model rocket kits that require assembly. Model rocket kits can be further categorized based on their complexity and size, ranging from beginner kits to advanced high-power rockets.
Most model rockets do not come with glue. It also depends on which type you are purchasing and where you are purchasing it from. Try calling a store or company and asking if their model rockets come with the glue.
You don't. All of the major motor producers have had accidents where lives were lost. Do you think you can be safer than Aerotech, Estes, etc.? Focus on the aerodynamics of model rockets. You'll have more fun that way.

Rockets are designed with their shapes due to aerodynamics. In plain terms, it is because of the force of the air on the rocket as they travel through it. For a simple experiment, stick your hand out of the window of a moving car and see how the force of the 'wind' on your hand changes as you make different shapes with your hand.
The mission statement of Estes Rockets is to provide innovative model rockets. They want their consumers to enjoy their products, which can be purchased from their webpage.
