New Plan -- Kitfox
This one takes me back to the origin of this thread, which was a "scrounged-up" design based on parts that I had left over from other projects. I was looking in my parts box this morning and came upon a nose cone and a 10" length of ST-8 from what I figure was meant to be another Aerobee 150, but which I never started on. I also wanted another Schoolyard Sounder design, so finding some CR-58 rings and a length of ST-5 took care of an engine mount. Having just completed the fins for a replacement Tradewind, I chose to recycle the main fin shape and use two of them with a ring-fin from a length of BT-55. RockSim says the design is stable with a 2.15 margin using the A10-3T.
Length: 15.30"
Diameter: 0.908" (ST-8)
Fin Span: 4.91"
Weight: 0.88 oz
1/2A3-2T......115'......Dv 8 FPS
A10-3T........240'......Dv 12 FPS
Both motors reach flight velocity on a standard rod.
Enjoy!
