On the Cylon Raider, a clear plastic flight probe (using the clear plastic BT-50 nose cone and tubing from the [updated, Alpha III-like] Estes Phantom) would be as "officially invisible" as the clear plastic (acetate) fins on the 1960s-vintage Estes Thor-Agena B and Gemini-Titan II scale kits (and the clear styrene fins on their later Gemini-Titan II, Titan II ICBM, and MX ICBM kits). The clear plastic BT-50 tubing from the Phantom kit (I'm not sure if it was the same as the PST-50 clear plastic payload tubing) would need to be longer for a Cylon Raider, but it would work. Using a "tie-in" shock cord anchor would enable the probe to be washed periodically, to keep it "invisible." |
