Eric,

You provided the original design, I just altered its personality a bit...

I put my name in the project description area of the RKT file, but I like the idea of having other designers' names showing up on BARCLONE, not just mine all the time.

Ah, now that looks great. Can you "flip" the sword around for me, so that I can have a left-right pair?

I had that procedure a while back. No big deal.

Exclamation New Plan -- CSL Murray

Some ideas just come like an itch that needs to be scratched...

First of all, CSL means "Civil Space Liner", and I have a few of these on the back-burner. I wanted all the designs in this series to have the names of famous musical entertainers of the 20th century. This one is named after a particular favorite singer from the 70's and 80's -- Anne Murray (Snowbird, Cotton Jenny, etc...).

The design is really a simple one, very much based around the Astron Trident in the way the exhaust gasses flow through connections between the parallel tubes. It's the way I managed to get RS to display the tubes that needs studying...

Some details are missing from the RKT file, such as a solid support "crutch" between the two motor tubes. The bulkheads seen in the forward ends of the motor tubes, and in the trailing ends of the long passage tubes, are as close a representation to a nose cone as I can manage.

RS performance on this model:

Use only C6-5s in the two motor tubes. Recovery is via a 24" parachute.

Max Alt.....825'
Deployment V.....a very soft 7.5 fps
Deployment is pre-apogee, by less than 1'
Stable flight is reached at 28.5"

Speaking of an itch that needs scratching, can I design the Courtney Love rocket?
