Yes, you are correct: 8.25" diameter.
It's been some time since I last flew. My last flight was my Saturn V on D12-3. Biggest I've launched.
Thank you for the comment on the drag.
Been looking at the Aerotech Glider power.
Edit: I've got some 3/16"cold rolled mild steel that I use on welding projects-thinking to do a 5 ft long launch rod to help it get enough speed for flying on its own.
