I'm fascinated by this airplane. Has anyone turned it into a RockSim design and/or built a flyable one?

Seems like there was one on the old Rocketry Forum years ago. You might want to go to the archives and do a search.

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Design Contest F-150 Hurricane Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II Semroc Cyber III

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

I made one, I never got around to flying it though, it should fly like the LexxJet does.

I do believe one was designed and posted here on YORF, using the Baby Bertha as a starting point. EchoVictor, if I'm not mistaken, is the creator. The name, I believe, was called "Goony Hog", and it was designed during our "goony phase" of models.

There was an article in Sport Rocketry a few years ago that had an A-10 BG, with templates for building.

The article in the second link from brianc seems to be the one I remembered.

Thanks, all, it looks interesting. But what I was hoping for was an actual rocket, not a boost glider. I have the LexxJet (way cool rocket) but haven't flown it yet. Maybe I'll try to rig something up in RockSim after the weekend.

"You rang?"

Yep, I made an A-10 Warthog a few years ago. Flies great;





It's definitely in the Goony-bird style, but I'm sure it would probably work if you made it with a BT-50 main body instead of the Bertha's BT-60. Let me know if you'd like the full schematics.

For those that want them, the GoonyHog plans are here;
