But skinnier in the middle. Kind of like the seemingly anorexic teen models we're seeing these days.
(Now, I *didn't* say "teen *model rockets!*
)
--Seriously, guys, wouldn't having a tiny body tube like that BT-3 (with 6 of its 8" length exposed) contribute to a serious case of the "bends?"
(Nothing personal, Craig, but as a klutz, I seem to instinctively understand the laws of physics, and at this particular scale -- especially given Estes' currently "Thermonuclear" ejection charges -- I'm just a little concerned for this design.
) Of course, you *could* do an SLS ~2.5OX upscale with Semroc's thick-walled "LT" tubes (LT-085, -125), but then you'd probably have to cluster it for the additional weight. Hmmm...
And now, for those of you who may have missed the Prometheus:

But yeah, Bill, you got the spelling write... er, "right." (You should *see* some of the news copy that comes over the TelePrompter.
The folks who get Closed Captioning complain every once in a while.
