When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
Spent some time today making a CAD model of a rocket heavily influenced by the Star Wars X-Wing Fighter. Also borrows from the Centuri Rocket Times X-Wing Fighter Design contest, circa 1977.
Scaled to utilize an Estes Alpha nose cone and BT-50 body tube.. since the Alpha was the first model I ever built, back in the early 70's. Since this will be my first build since the mid 1980's I thought a tip of the hat to Estes was a good call.
I'm thinking US Army Olive Green paint and stenciling...
I thought about an Honest John Nose Cone, flattened in the line of sight from the cockpit. But I'm wondering if that would drive the rocket in the opposite direction?
