The Antares is a '70s era winner if I ever saw one. I have loved that Avatar and seeing it for real is a treat. You have captured Model Rocketry's spirit with that one. I've had your plans but haven't started it yet. (hoping for a cold snowed-in winter)
As previously stated, The Andromeda is so beautiful it......., I mean, seeing it for real...(sob)....um...., I must have something caught in my eye....
Post the Plans soon or sell me a kit.
Great job

Bob,
Thanks for the kind words. I actually drew up the Antares in 2003 before I started working with RockSim, and only flight-simmed the model earlier this year. I'm anxious to see it fly in this configuration; I know of at least one other version that's been built as a three-fin, but I don't know if it has actually flown. Andromeda still needs those label skins to be applied.
I was looking for a "retro 50's" style when I worked on the Antares, and I'm happy with the way it turned out, too.
I'm still working on a plan set for Andromeda, something other than just a RKT file... |
