I've always thought that the Northrop M2-F3 (the modified, rebuilt M2-F2 with a third vertical stabilizer, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_M2-F3 ), the Northrop HL-10 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_HL-10 ), the Martin Marietta X-24A (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Marietta_X-24A ) and X-24B (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Marietta_X-24B ), and the Martin Marietta X-23A/SV-5D PRIME (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_X-23_PRIME ) would make interesting scale boost-gliders. Models of them could be made of vacu-formed styrene or styrene foam (which could be covered with Kevlar "veil" and epoxy to make the surface more durable) with sheet balsa vertical stabilizers. They could "hitch-hike" on longer and larger existing rockets as parasite boost-gliders.

I have had one cone collapse on me. It was, most likely, the dreaded Krushnic effect. To address the issue, I made six longerons from 100lb card stock. They are accordian folded, then glued inside the cone so then look a little like this -^-
They add a touch of weight, but I have never had one collapse since. To avoid excessive charring on the interior, I stuff some "dog barf" wadding into the front end of the engine. Seems to work prety nicely - actually makes a big difference. For the fusealge that does get burned (I launched a few on booster engines), I just printed a new shroud on copier paper and glued it over the old damaged shroud. I don't use a launch lug, per se, I cut a oval hole near the nose, and put a notch in the bulkhead. These serve as a luanch lug that runs along the motor tube, and allows the rocket ro take of going straight, as opposed to an angle. I also use a 24mm motor mount - not that I use 24mm motors. I have an 18mm motor adapter with a streamer wrapped around it, Whenthe motor kicks out, it comes down on a streamer (NAR-friendly). Lastly, I found that the X-24 is easier to trim without the fins.

Just saw an infomercial tonight advertising the first season of the show on DVD for the first time ever. Put out by one of those Time-Life deals. Price was $39.95. Included several of the pilot movies as well. I was not a super-big fan of the show as a kid, but for those who were, looks like you'll be able to finally re-live those memories. Earl
