    Need Super Scale Data

    I would like to do a super scale project but I am having a difficult time finding data on launchers. I did a search in the forum and nothing seemed to pop up. Not to say that there isn't anything since I may not have picked the right terms. Any suggestions for photos and data on launchers for things like Nike-Apache, Nike-Tomahawk, Super Loki-Dart? Or others like V2?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    NARTS has some scale launcher plans, IIRC.

    All sorts of fun stuff here:

    The first PDF I found after searching for nike apache had several photos of launchers.

    Thanks

    I have something from NARTS on the Nike Apache but it didn't have the launcher. I should recheck though since I got this materials decades ago.

    Duh, should have thought to search on a NASA site! Thanks for that pointer!

    These are the ORIGINAL drawings, done by Howard Kuhn in the early 1970's.

    I will post up more data, but I am limited to 5 attachments per post.

    More ORIGINAL photographs, taken by Howard Kuhn.

    Also, more data on the launcher itself

    Heres the Photo I used to produce my Nike-Smoke launcher. It's the same Wallops Island launcher Troy posted with the Nike-Apache on it.

    This is really cool stuff. I will have no excuse for taking (ahem ) years to complete my NARtrek project like it did with my NARtrek gold. Thanks for posting for my benefit and the benefit of the forum!

    Mike,

    How is your project coming along . . . I hope the data disk you got from me provided everything you needed ?

    I've assembled most of the parts and materials for the rocket. I need to decide how to handle a couple if details and I can start. The data disk is great. I should be able to work up a scale launcher from all the data. I have been looking at suppliers of wood and plastic components that could useful...places that have stuff for model trains and doll houses.

    Have you made any firm plans for the data?

    Sorry for the long delay . . .

    No plans for the data yet - I have been toying with the idea of simply giving all of my scale data to 5 or 6 different online sources ( NINFINGER, etc ) to ensure that it is not lost to the rocketry community and would be freely available to everyone.

    As of today, I have almost 53 GB of data stored . . .

    Long Delay on Build Too

    I've delayed too. In building, that is. I am doing some scratch builds that require techniques I will need for this project but have never tried before. I get an interesting sport flyer and work the bugs out before moving on to this project.

    Have you tried NARTS as a way of distributing this information?
