Overstable By Design
I'd like to thank Neil_w for this pic. It's the best example there is of what my first APRO Lander looked like before I botched the finish. Also, this rocket needed a BT-55 main tube rather than the BT-50 it had.

Thanks to an interest in this design, and knowing I should have used a larger main frame tube, Ive decided to build it again with improvements. Particularly the launch lug installation. The uh-oh moment on that note, happened after the construction was done. At least it wasnt forgotten. It just had to be a custom install.
Here are all the parts. The big tranny is being formed as will the others to follow. The fin template shows 2 versions of a fin muscle that will be installed after the fins are glued in place. I will explain their purpose when the time comes. Also, in another thread, I mentioned having to turn your own nose cone, when actually, a PNC 55-BB will do the job nicely. So ignore that part of the template. The disk shape with Make 2 are the 6 CRs. I may only have to make one if Im lucky.
