That's fine--those measurements will be sufficient to replicate the rocket. The Aeronautical Lab Kit manual has quite good renderings of the decals, and they were simple in design, so replicating them wouldn't be too difficult. Also:
I'm pretty sure the nose cone parachute was 6" (or maybe 15 cm) wide, and the rocket body parachute was either 10" (25 cm?) or 12" (30 cm?) in diameter. (Since at least the Logix-brand Aeronautical Lab Kit [the one I had] was made in Canada and those were the years of the big push for metric conversion in both Canada and the USA [all measurements given in the manual are metric], the parachutes may have been made in metric sizes.) |
