The Jericho from Iron Man

[thekage]

Plans attached. Looking for critiques - this is my first scratch build.

Finish would be either drab tan like the film or a red and gold Iron Man theme.

Cool, I think it should be built.. what is a .ork file? what do you use to open it.

But, if you do this, you have to mount a radar dome to your launcher.

.ork is the file extension for an OpenRocket file, and you can get OpenRocket for free!

G.D.

.ork is open rocket format.

Ill only launch it while wearing a nice suit and sweet shades.

Great looking build!
I might be a bit worried about the ~20-22ft/s descent rate with the balsa fins...

Either "skin" them with something for strength or do a bigger 'chute with a spill hole?

AWESOME ROCKET.. I was thinking about one myself.

Be careful with rockets with FORWARD CANARDS. stability can be a real issue!

The reason most missiles have canards, they are borderline stable. so it take VERY little input to make them turn. this is good when you have a computer controlling that. BAD when you dont.

COntact me if you need some "STARK INDUSTRIES" decals... I'll work them up for you

i looked at the file and you are 0.8 marginal for stability with that motor.

i would reccomend moving the canards rearward 10 - 20cm to get a min 1.0 margin. assuming that is the largest motor your going to fly in it.

i tend to design with the largest motor i think i will ever fly trying for a min 1.2 margin.

Just a suggestion.

D'oh my God! YES!

Don't forget the mini bar!

Sweet looking rocket

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think I know where there might be a launcher that could be able to be converted from a Patriot Battery to the launcher for the Jericho!

So...did this project end up dying? Anyone revisit the scaling on the .ork file?

Just wondered as my daughter thinks she needs one of these...

[hornet driver]

I'm gonna take Sticker fishing-- He Knows how to hunt-- seems like the Idea did die so I'll take the run if no one will. Hello--are you out there? Counting -3-2-----

[jpummil]

Hey hornet!

I'm fiddling with the original .ork now. Do you use OR or Rocksim?

Maybe bounce it back and forth a couple of times?

First pass...

Made BT 2.6" OD. Lengthened NC a bit. Shortened boattail and made conical. Went with 29mm motor mount. Modded fin shapes to correspond more closely with the best pic from the thread (realistic on launcher showing Stark Industries Logo).

Attached as both .ork and .rkt

Fins need some effort still....hornet, ya wanna critique and knock some more rough edges off?

Mark, get the vinyl machine fired up!
