Dale,

Let me know what tube size you want to upscale it to, and I'd be happy to convert/enter the data into Carl's online nose cone designer.

Cheers,

Decals are no problem.

Just tell me the size.

Sounds good, thanks. I'm looking at a BT-55 (1.73x) and a BT-70 (2.90) upscale.

As far as the decals go, the first upscale should have the Webelos logo instead of the Cub Scout. Keep the name
of "Akela-1" since that's the name of the rocket to begin with. Colors are Olive Drab, Red, and Yellow.

For the second upscale, the logo should be the Boy Scout logo, and the colors are Olive Drab and Khaki.

Dale,

I managed to pull off the BNC-55G 1.75X upscale (I doublechecked my own upscale spreadsheet) of the Semroc BC-730P :

http://www.semroc.com/store/Scripts...NC-55G&OWN=0029


Unfortunately, I couldn't get the Nose Cone Designer to cooperate for the BT-70 2.92X upscale, which would probably be designated BNC-70G.


Anyway, there you go. (For now.)


Cheers,

It's nostalgia like this that make me pull out my Emergency! DVD collection. Rampart, this is Squad 51 how do you read?

Well, I mentioned I'd scan this document and put it out here and just never got around to it (though I think links to another on-line copy do exist).

I call this the 'Akela Leader's Guide', but it's not the official name of it. This four page document (8 x 17 paper, printed two sided and folded over to form a four page 'booklet') was the 'master' guide that came with the Centuri Akela 8-pak sets which were distributed to respondents to this thread last month. The individual instruction sheets that each of you received (eight sets) were tucked away inside this folded 'guide' in the box of kits.

This guide provided the group leader some general model rocketry overview information, construction tips, and directions on how to build a launch system to launch the Akela rockets. I thought the kit receipents in this thread would like to have the full compliment of info that came with the set.

Later, I'll post some photos of the box itself.

While I lost my copy long ago, I remember that guide well, Earl!

I still have a launch system much like the one shown, made from those parts but lacking the continuity check light.
