To start the show...
Here is the first BARCLONE design to use a 10mm 1/4A2-4 SEMROC motor. It is a micro version of an early MMI favorite, the Aerobee 150. This one is called the Microbee 150. It is streamer-recovery, and has spectacular performance.
Length: 9.06"
Diameter: 0.448" (Apogee 10.5mm tubes)
Fin Span: 2.188"
Weight: 0.1173 oz
1/4A2-4T......370'......Dv 6 FPS......18" launch rod
Notice the last column -- it takes only an 18" launch rod to reach safe flight velocity.
Also note, I tried to create a new ST-4 body tube for use with these motors, but RockSim declared the diameters to be only usable with 6mm MicroMaxx motors. It would not offer the 10mm motors as an option. This will be tweaked later in the program.
Study the new design and get the feel for what's in the works!
