Now onto one of my newest (old) kits... The Estes Sizzler. Now this isn't the 1906, it's the 2127 (Rear Ejection) version. I understand that it was also briefly called the Talon, but I've never seen any official source that shows what how the Talon would have appeared.
BTW: The only portion of the image (above) that was seriously modified with MS Paint was the removal of the CG/CP dots, other than that, it's WYSIWYG. Deleting the PBT for the engine hook resulted in a gain of 8' in altitude. So, I'd say this sim should be good for flight calculations.
I might just build it stock, but I'm already planning on a 3FNC version with a 24mm x 95mm (E powered) rocket that will maintain the illusion of the rear ejection by making the engine mount look stock (save for the difference in diameter of the actual motor tube), perhaps with 1/8" thick fins instead of the stock 3/32" ones.
The previous version of the file was downloaded 126 times.
