I've been watching the news feeds to see if this first test flight ever gets off the ground. They keep pushing it back each time, and I haven't heard anything in the last day or so.
Looking at the photos of the prototype HEAT-1X, I think your scale of 1/3 might be a bit off...
The rocket is about 25" in diameter, so your model at ST-13/BT-55 size would only be about 1/20. BT-80 (2.6" diameter) would be just a tad larger than 1/10 scale (Deci-Scale). With a length of about 10m (39.37'), then a total length of 39 3/8" would be close. That would be a good size for a model.
Here's a link to some development photos.
There is also a nice drawing showing various development versions, including a smaller test vehicle called HATV.
Nice choice! |
