New Plan -- Capricorn Alpha
I think this one has some pleasing lines, in a classic arrangement borrowing from the Laser-X, the Taurus, and several BARCLONEs. Performance appears to be good on the common four motors, but you might need a 48" rod if you choose to use the A8-3. It only requires 34", but you don't really have the full 36" to start with on a traditional pad. The plans call out a 3/16" launch lug so you can use any standard 36" x 1/8", or 'maxi' 48" x 3/16" launch rod.
Length: 29.45"
Diameter: 1.34" (ST-13)
Fin Span: 6.34"
Weight: 1.74 oz
A8-3......155'......Dv 13 FPS
B4-4......400'......Dv 3 FPS
B6-4......410'......Dv 7 FPS
C6-5......940'......Dv 15 FPS
Enjoy!
