A little occupational fun here. I really dislike that orange shirt. JP

I think she's a transvestite...there's a third leg on her too!

I am SO hot right now.

A rocket like this could be a problem for some of the more shy rocket geeks. It's like a Mrs. Buttersworth bottle. Where do you grab without offending her?

Blond hair with black roots! All we need is the smell of cigarette smoke, sweat and old beer and she could be someone that some of my friends dragged home in the bad old days.

Now I see where you got your inspiration for these! <smacks forehead with open palm> They're the universal restroom icons!

This one is still in development, but I thought you might find it interesting. The engine cowlings are hollow, and made from folded-and-glued pieces of Carl's 0.025" thick pressed-paper material (half as thick as his rocket rack and centering ring material). I haven't got the weight figures just yet for these items; I'm allowing 3/4 oz for each, but I think it will be much less...

Uses Jay's "Tau Zero" nose cone, and more of those open-frame fins...

Length: 24.3"
Fin Span: 7.13"
Diameter: 1.04" (BC-860 max diameter)
Weight: 3 oz (incorrect value; needs actual weight of those cowlings corrected)

B6-4......219'......28 FPS
C6-5......632'......10 FPS

Using these weight values, the model requires a 48" launch rod, 3/16" diameter, to achieve flight velocity.

Enjoy!

With Firestone 500 fins?

Probably about the same time as you see the Tau Gremlin, the Tau Nova, the Tau Fairlane, the Tau Fury, the Tau Comet, the Tau F-150...

Possibilities all...
