Yes, indeed! Also, please send the data (and instructions scans and/or photos of the Logix rocket) to Scott Hansen (e-mail addresses:
scott@rocketshoppe.com and
scott@oldrocketplans.com ) at "Ye Olde Rocket Plans" (YORP, see:
www.oldrocketplans.com ) so that it can be preserved for all kit cloners. The needed information would be:
[1] Body Diameter (I'm not sure if it's "BT-20-ish" or more like ST-7 tubing);
[2] Overall Length;
[3] Body Tube Length;
[4] Nose Cone Length;
[5] Diameter of Nose Cone Tip (if memory serves, the tip is flat--a small circle);
[6] Fin Root Chord;
[7] Fin Sweep Angle (because the extreme forward corner of the fin on the body is cut off);
[8] Fin Tip Chord;
[9] Height of cut-off extreme forward corner of fin (where it's cut off);
[10] Fin "Half-Span" (from root to tip);
[11] Fin thickness;
[12] Main Body Parachute Diameter (plus shroud line length if available);
[13] Nose Cone Parachute Diameter (plus shroud line length if available);
[14] Shock Cord Length (if the original);
[15] Depth of Motor Thrust Ring [or Length of Exposed Portion of Motor] (from instructions);
[16] Decal Documentation (number and size[s] of "check[s]" in the black-and-white checkerboard roll patterns, the lengths of the roll patterns, their placement locations as measured from one or both ends of the body tube, the widths of the white and black bands, and the widths of the fin guide "missing strips" in the rear roll pattern decal). Also:
Sketches of the decals, with the measurements of their features ("checks," bands, etc.) included on the sketches, would enable anyone to easily reproduce the decals. Since the original decals were printed on self-adhesive glossy paper, they could be reproduced by printing them on Avery self-adhesive label paper (maybe Sandman would whip up a set of these?). Thank you very much for making scale data on this rare Canadian model rocket available!
