The Sandpiper, I believe was a 2-stage payload competition model. I'd seen the plans in some publication long ago. I'd like to build an upscale (non-payload, non-competition) version just because I like the looks of the thing.
If anyone can point me to the plans, it would "make my day".

I searched the place & found my copy of the plans. No wonder nobody responded.....it was from a fairly obscure source, an old club newsletter from the NOVAAR Free Press, model courtesy of MIT Rocket Society. It mentions it being flown at NARAM-23 & used CMR parts, with body tube designations like RB52, RB77, etc.
If I can scan it & get it on here, I will, just to show you how cool it is. I'm upscaling it to BT60 transitioning to BT70, just over 4 feet tall & staged.

I'd like to see some pics.

I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"
She said, "Make up your mind, you can't do both!"

If I can figure out how to get the picture to here, I will (54 & limited computer skills.....maybe I can get a 7-year-old to show me).

Richard, if you contact user LTVscout either here or at Ye Olde Rocket Forum (http://forums.rocketshoppe.com), he hosts a large number of OOP rocket plans at his site, Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe (www.rocketshoppe.com).
If he doesn't already have those plans, I bet he'd be thrilled to get them.

I first launched a model rocket in June of 2004 and was *immediately* hooked. Today, I have kits or have built rockets from:
ASP, Custom, Edmonds, Estes, Fliskits, InFlight, Neubauer, PD Rockets, Quest, Red River Rocketry, Rokitflite, Semroc, plus several more scratchbuilt rockets.
After about a year of being pretty inactive, I've got the bug again in the summer of 2011!

Let's see if the attachment worked.

It worked!! Imagine that. All those crudely scribbled dimensions relate to a rough draft of 2 upscaled versions.
What do you think? I like the lines of it.

Thanks for the info!

Thank you, Kev. It was my local computer-wiz & glider-trimmer extrodanaire, Kevin Johnson, who I quizzed about posting the plans pic on here.
Kevin Johnson.....more computer savvy than a seven-year-old.
