New Plan -- Stimulator
Plan #231...
(I found a couple that I overlooked earlier...)
Another open-fin design. I'm intrigued by the way RockSim says these designs are as stable, if not more so by virtue of the reduced weight, than the traditional solid-fin designs...
One additional idea is to cover these open-frame fins with transparent MonoKote, but I don't know just how much weight that would add back. Still, it's an idea...
Length: 23.25"
Fin Span: 6.1"
Diameter: 1.04" (ST-10)
Weight: 1.46 oz
A8-3.......188'.......5 FPS
B4-4.......457'.......7 FPS
B6-4.......465'......12 FPS
C6-5......1000'......14 FPS
All motors reach flight V in the length of a standard rod.
Enjoy!
