Length: 54.42"
Diameter: 2.3" (PML 2.15)
Span: 7.28"
Weight: 36.23 oz

G35EJ-7.......1371'.......Dv 7 FPS......Margin 5.78
G64-8.........1685'.......Dv 9 FPS......Margin 5.33
H128W-10......2321'.......Dv 7 FPS......Margin 4.94
G75J-10.......2375'.......Dv 7 FPS......Margin 4.85
H165R-10......2450'......Dv 19 FPS......Margin 5.02
H238T-10......2500'......Dv 24 FPS......Margin 5.03
H70W-10.......3260'......Dv 27 FPS......Margin 5.27

Use a tower launch system of 60" to 72" for this model, due to the size and power requirements. No launch lugs are shown on the model.

Enjoy!


Cool

Thanks for the info / input - will be cutting fins soon ( did not get a chance this weekend ) .

surprised the low launch velocities, given the weight of just about 2 1/3 lbs - a 2.2" bird on a H128 or H238 should scream off the pad.
might have to rething launch lugs - the only thing with long lengths as you note would be a rail, so railbuttons might be a plus . ( but 'ruin' the upscale look, lol .

progress as / when she gets built .
