Looks good, JP. ST-13 sized, and still gets 300+ altitude...
Now, wrangle up an ST-18 design, something simple will do, using a single 13mm, capable of ~125' with a low Dv. Streamer recovery is acceptable. The idea is to create a rocket that can be flown in almost any small yard, but still be larger than the typical stuff Estes puts out for 13mm. Like a Lionel train in young hands... |
