Rocket Information you can USE!
Here is some stuff for high powered rocketry
Homemade Simple Relay Launch Controller
First, is the schematic for my simple relay launch controller. This is a modified design from information I found on the web a few years back. It works for me, but if you decide to build it you do so at your own risk. FYI - This design will probably not work well if you use e-matches for igniters. The current from the 9 volt continuity check may ignite them prematurely.

NAR Level 2 Certification Test For Practice
Second is a simple online test I wrote that uses questions from the NAR test pool. These are from the 1999 test version. This is not the latest test version but it's close. NAR Level 2 Practice TestReloadable Rocket Motors
Next, some info about rocket motor reloads. I can never remember what reloads go into what case. Except for the G64. So I use the table below quite a bit. Perhaps you may find this handy as well. W - White Lightning White Lightning has a visible orange flame and lots of white smoke.R - Redline Redline propellant has a bright red flame, and a little white smoke.
J - Blackjack Blackjack produces lots of black smoke and little, if any, visible flame.
T - Blue Thunder Blue Thunder has no smoke, a light purple-blue flame and a fast burn time.
N - Warp-9 Warp-9 exhibits a yellow-white exhaust plume with a minimum of smoke.
FJ - Fast Blackjack Fast Blackjack produces black smoke like a regular Blackjack, with burn characteristics similar to White Lightning.
G - Mojave Green Mojave Green exhibits a bright green flame, with a fast burn time.
Below is a table that outlines many Aerotech cases and the rocket motor reloads that fit into them.
