A proposal
In as much as:
I never bought the RockSim application and my trial has long ago expired. Everyone seems to be doing a greek alphabet naming scheme, which reminds me of college. I never joined a frat but belonged to a "dorm gang" that went by a pseudo-greek name. I propose: That someone design a dorm party themed rocket and designate it "Tappa Kegga Bru". That it be designed somewhat as a "keg lofter".

New Plan -- Probe Tau Aquarii
Two stage design, simple 4FNC variety, no open-fin structure to build, but uses the Tau Zero nose cone for style.
Similar to, but not as complicated as, the (very) early Trailblazer design. Length: 30.25" Fin Span: 4.54" Diameter: 1.04" (ST-10) Weight: 1.73 oz C6-0 / A8-5......1171'......24 FPS C6-0 / B6-6......1465'......11 FPS C6-0 / C6-7......2054'......14 FPS All stacks require a 48" launch rod, 3/16" diameter, to reach safe flight velocity. Enjoy!

Challenge Answer #1 -- Tappa Kegga Bru
Quote:
Don't know if this is what you had in mind, but here's one interpretation... Length: 39.25" Diameter: 6.16" Fin Span: 8.14" Weight: 23 oz (Not LPR; qualifies as HPR) F50-T6.......930'......12 FPS F25-6........930'......21 FPS A 60" steel rod, 1/4" diameter, is the minimum length recommended for launching this model. Not a beginner's model. Enjoy!

New Design: Green Megatron
I'm not Greek I'm Swedish.
 For the lack of a better name I am calling it the Greem Magatron. Seem to fly quite well on motors from A8 to C6. Jay, I have day one and day two at NSL 2001 on tape. I probably have you on film somewhere. My most memorable flight was my Estes Tomcat that sucessfully flew on the second day. I haven't flown it since because of the launch area size it requires. My pony Express T-shirt is quite well worn and one of my best shirts. Thanks Again and Enjoy, JP NAR# 77907

Revised Plan -- Loadmaster B
Here's a subtle alteration to a plan released a few weeks ago, called Loadmaster. I changed the nose cone from an elliptical BC-833 to the long ogive BC-853, and found some improved deployment numbers. The altitude suffers only very slightly.
Length: 20.81" Fin Span: 4.43" Diameter: 0.908" (ST-8) Weight: 1.19 oz A8-3.......225'......3 FPS B4-4.......496'......7 FPS C6-5......1009'......7 FPS All motors reach safe flight V in the length of a standard rod. Enjoy!

Where do I have to look in my RockSim files to find this particular figure?  (I've been meaning to ask, and just now remembered.) Cheers, and thanks, --Jay
