Exclamation New Plan -- Tau Centauri

Trying to get this thread back into the design of rockets, I "borrowed" Jay's Tau Zero fin pattern for this one. The ring tail is increased to complement the size of the rear body tube. I also "borrowed" the open-frame structure of the Estes Scorpius engine nacelle to form the inter-connection between the crew compartment and the reactor drive sections.

This design has some similarities to the Ambassador's Transport...

Length: 25.2"
Diameter: 1.04" (ST-10)
Ring Fin Diameter: 2.34" (LT-225)
Fin Span: 5.56"
Weight: 2 oz

C6-3......538'......21 FPS......36" rod, 1/8" diameter

The C6-3 is the only motor recommended.

Enjoy!
