A suggestion was made (over on TRF) for a forum thread which contains no discussions or comments, but works simply as a "placeholder" list of rocket designs. While I wait for my registration to process over there, I thought it might be a good idea for BARCLONE to set up a list of its own, which would make it easier for visitors (and we ourselves) to locate all 590 designs we currently show. It would also make it easier to link into from the blogsite, so that visitors there can download plans when they find something they like.

Comments?

I need links to the following plans:

4" Rhemus Upscale

5820 E (Possibly the 5820 Ugly )

3 Finset Simpleship


If anyone spots these (I've looked, but they may be hiding under assumed identities...) please let me know. I'm trying to put together an ordered list of all our design plans.

Thanks.

Ask, and you will receive. (Me, I just usually get strange looks. )


Behold, the 5820 Ugly (not "E" ) :

Thanks, Jay. This probably is the one I'm looking for. Do you want me to 'officially' change it to 'Ugly' in the lists?

Sounds like a great idea to me. More exposure to that vast library of BARCLONE designs from other forums can only be a good thing. Some may spring over there from the BARCLONE link on Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe but I think a permanent link on TRF to allow interested users to download plans would be great.

Craig - great idea! The posting with the list looks great and is much easier to navigate and find designs than going through the various Barclone design threads.

... Bill

Thanks for the good words, guys. I'm wondering why I didn't think to do this earlier. The list was already started on the blogsite, and I try to keep it updated when we have new designs posted, but for whatever reason posting a list here just never got a switch flipped in my head. I have so few switches left to flip, anyway...

The website is my newest project-to-resurrect. I really want to get that done this year, so that everyone can actually see what the designs look like. It would be nice if I could get it to look like one of the old Estes or Centuri catalogs from the late '60s...

This grew out of my experiments late last fall involving a 137% (ST-7 to ST-10) upscale of the Centuri Vector-V. It's my very first rocket on a slightly bigger scale.


From the attached RockSim 8 file:

Special thanks to "GIJoe" in Spokane, Washington, USA for posting a photo of an original silkscreened fin, and including a ruler in the photos on YORF:

Intriguingly enough, with this particular "enlargement factor," many of the original Centuri designs end up with higher deployment velocities than I'd like (shrugs), but there you go.

From our fabulous sponsors at Ye Olde Rocket Plans (YORP):

Here's another ST-7 to ST-10 137% upscale, which shows you what happens when the Centuri Javelin and Vector-V fins collide to make the Scouts' model rocket derby "Akela-1" even larger than you remember .
