New Plan -- Ambassador's Transport
Think of this as a "base model" for a futuristic transport design. It could use some more details and "fiddly bits", as I like to call them. However, the predicted flight curves for this model as-is is respectable.
B6-2.....140'.....13 FPS C6-3.....380'.....17 FPS I don't recommend other motors at this time. My "rough sketches" of this design had wings that resembled the Orbital Transport, with large, chunky engine shrouds outbound of the main engineering section, and Gyroc-type winglets top and bottom of those. I may try to recycle these ideas together into another model later on. Skill Level 2. Enjoy!

Thanks. I've had the sketches taped up at my desk for over a year, and it really looks better "visually". Making it fly without resorting to ballast and a 24mm motor, however, might prove to be a bigger challenge... I scanned the sheets I've been staring at to show you the original idea...

I like the second version better. The first looks too much like one of the Estes DOM birds.

Another Rough Sketch
For those interested in seeing how a twisted and demented rocket designer's mind can often work, here's another idea that's been giving me some trouble in getting it simulated. It's called "Star Sabre", and it's based around a 50's Buick Le Sabre. I'll go ahead and post the raw idea here to see if anyone else might make it work...
Enjoy!

You mean Sketch II, right? The images are in reverse sequence...

Yeah. The Caddy is also cool. Almost Goony-like in a way.

Craig, I like this one. It looks vaguely like my BT-80/70 3-motor cluster model, only smaller and with fewer fins.

New Plan -- ASP
Here's a simple, "take-a-breather" type of model for all-around sport flying. Nice proportions using the ST-10 tube. Gentle parachute deployments. All-in-all, it's a relaxed-envelope modroc.
Length: 23.45" Fin Span: 3.54" Diameter: 1.04" Weight: 1.38 oz (empty) A8-3.....190'.....5 FPS B4-4.....450'.....4 FPS B6-4.....460'.....8 FPS C6-5.....980'.....7 FPS Enjoy!

New Plan -- Bobcat
A sport design with four fins and a nose cone, but taken just a little beyond bland and boring. Performance marks are better than you might expect for something looking like this one. Note: A parachute is shown in the RKT file being stuffed into the ST-5 forward tube. This might be a little too tight a fit, and can probably be replaced with a pair of 1" x 10" streamers, or a single 2" x 20" streamer. It should still be recovered safely, given the light weight of the model.
Skill Level 2 Length: 22.90" Diameter: 0.908" Fin Span: 3.658" Weight: 1 oz A8-3.....270'.....13 FPS B4-4.....575'.....17 FPS B6-4.....575'.....20 FPS (32 FPS/S higher acceleration than B4-4) C6-5....1120'.....10 FPS Enjoy!
