| Brian, inspired by a rocket of a
similar name flown at a CMASS launch, decided to set himself to designing a more realistic
looking "Lawn Dart". Brian provided
the following information with his entry:
Hello, I wasn’t sure what you need form me
exactly but enclosed if a simple design and a picture of the completed rocket. Inspired by
the name of a rocket flown at CMASS I decided to build a realistic looking lawn dart. The
tube adapter on my design is flow-through not a solid balsa. Because of this there would
be a lot more stress during ejection so I designed through-body-tube fins (for stability
only 3, 4 or 5 fin designs are recommended) I opted for a 4 fin design. Another option
would be to use a solid balsa 50 to 55 adapter creating an upper payload bay.
If I’m missing anything you need, please let me know. I’ll also be sending you
some additional designs (mostly fun with fins)
Thanks,
brian |
