New Design -- Nightwind
One of the earlier sketches finally simulated.
Length: 27.05"
Diameter: 0.908" (ST-8)
Fin Span: 8.91"
Weight: 1.43 oz
A8-3.......216'......Dv 5 FPS.......36" x 1/8" rod
B6-6.......585'......Dv 28 FPS......36" x 1/8" rod
C6-7......1346'......Dv 8 FPS.......36" x 1/8" rod*
Enjoy!
*Note: I think this altitude figure is a bit optimistic. It's going to take building one and watching it fly before I'm convinced...
Addendum: This design has most of the weight off to one side (top) of the thrust line, so there needs to be some offset in the motor tube. I will try to figure out what the angle needs to be, and try to create some centering rings to build this in.
