New Design: Space Eagle 1
 

Chris_Timm Quote:

Multi-Satging sound good Chris, some day I need to figure out how to design it in Rocksim. Come to think of it I have never even built as 2 stage kit. Gotta do that ;) .


Here is another Starfighter looking design I call Space Eagle 1. I used
the BC-1043 nose cone with some fins for added shape. Also dressed this
design up with a few L-115 as guns mounts. All in all not the fight specs
did not seem to suffer too much with the added parts.

New Designs: Tranquility 1 & 7
 

I have dedided to go ahead and post these next two designs now, as your feedback on them will mean a great deal to me. We all seem to get so busy as Christmas gets close. Besides I am just busting at the seams to show them to you.

I call these next two designs Tranquility 1 (18mm) and Tranquility 7 (24mm). I wanted to do these designs for all you Olde Timers that remember the yesteryears of model rocketry with a modern twist :D . I hope these two will meet your expectations. Yep, you guess it, Saturn looking Pod Poppers.

These two design have recently move to the top of my built pile. These designs have the same basic build technique as the Six Shooter, however I managed to redesign some portions and reduce alot of unnecessary parts. I won't go into wordy part details so here they are.

Cool!

Interesting twist, indeed! :)

Ok, M. Night Shamalamadingdong. :D

New Design: Star Bloom
 

Well, there's some posative feedback from a couple of Olde Timer's :D .
I must be getting old too, I had to edit cause I forgot to attach the pictures and files :o .

This next design I started doing redesign of the Commic Poo and ended up
with this design called Star Bloom. I have been trying to keep my margins
at or near a 1.5 margin instead of just a 1.00 to help ward off the
wieght and simulation errors. Simmulation wieghts seems to be on the
lighter side than actual built model wieght.

We're in the same leaky boat, James; and I'm bailing with a rusty bucket... :o

New Design: Warp Nacell
 

Ok, so this design is a little on the strange side. Nothing out of the ordinary for me though. I think my inspiration must have been some Star Trek probe, don't remember. I called it the Warp Nacell and I am fairly sure its an original. I changed the Static Margin reference on this design to Max. Frontial Diameter cause of the large upper BT. I guess :confused: that the rule on this is that if the design has a larger BT section than the nose cone diameter one should use this option for simmulation accuracy.

New Design: Sky Phantom
 

Here is another sci-fi design with the forward aggressive fins. I call it the Sky Phanton. A person must enjoy working with paper transitions if you want to build this one. Also decided to go with the 5 fin look even though 3 would be enough for stability.

New Design: Rigel 9
 

Here is another ring fin nightmare for you folks. Also included a strange mount with he nose cone as well. Its definitely not designed for aerodynamics and I call it Rigel 9. I ran the ST-7 all the way through the ST-13 to make top section and for smooth parachute ejection.
