Exclamation New Plan -- Tau Borealis

I don't remember if this model name was requested by anyone (Jay?), but it just came to my mind today and I noticed I didn't have one already in the line-up...

Here's something just familiar enough to be called a sibling to the Andromeda, but not exactly the same to be just a copy. This is also another (in)famous Cracker Barrel sketch come to life. It's a "Chicken & Eggs, smothered in white gravy" design. (There's a scarry bit of unrequested extra information for ya!)

Length: 22.44"
Diameter: 1.64" (ST-16 shrouds)
Fin Span: 3.76"
Weight: 1.52 oz

A8-3......180'......Dv 7 FPS
B4-4......443'......Dv 6 FPS
B6-4......451'......Dv 10 FPS
C6-5......976'......Dv 12 FPS

All motors reach flight velocity on a standard launch rod.

Enjoy!
