So this is my first scale-ish build from scratch. I ran across this cruise missile when looking for some data on the Harpoon AGM and it just looked like a rocket I needed to take a crack at.
The scale is about 1:5.15 and based around a LOC 3" tube. The goal is to make it Class 1 and, ideally, flyable on a big F or moderate G. The RockSim file has an F52 flying about 330ft, G76 to 850ft, with a G76 loaded mass that's pushing 1.4kg.
I'll admit there are several things I'm not sure how to build - though I've got solid ideas for everything but the air intakes under the main fins and the boat tail. I'm building the torpedo/ASW version in the middle and bottom of the page.
Most of the basic parts are ordered and are due in next week...we'll see how things go.
(FWIW, I built a rocksim model of the OTOMAT Mk II and it needed 6-8oz of weight in the nose to be stable)
