New Plan -- Tau Cygnus
It's been a slow January and February around here...
This design is another in the (in)famous TAU series, and draws some influence (OK, maybe more than just "some"...) from the Andromeda. It is a simplified model, but it retains the family styling with the reactor shroud and coils, the open fins, and the stylish nose cone.
Tau Cygnus also fits into the VR Class with its under-800' altitude on a C6-5.
Length: 23.95"
Diameter: 1.64" (ST-16 reactor shroud)
Fin Span: 6.04"
Weight: 2 oz
B4-4......330'......Dv 13 FPS
B6-4......340'......Dv 8 FPS
C6-5......787'......Dv 7 FPS
The A8-3 is not recommended as it does not reach safe flight velocity on a standard rod, and only attains about 125' at best. All other motors listed reach flight velocity in the length of a standard rod.
Enjoy!
