It is a cool rocket.

That there was a lot of variability in nose cone length and shape makes it possible to use any 4" nose cone in the 4:1 to 5:1 range on a clone. It would still be a Mongrel. Such a mutt.

The other feature is the 5x 29mm motor mount. I spoke with the RSO of LDRS-1 this weekend, Ken Hubal, and he told me that he flew his with 3x F100s like Chris did. It was a popular combo. Chris has received several requests for plans and fin patterns from people who are going to go with 38 and 54mm mounts instead.
