Thought it was about time to join the minimum diameter ranks. While i'm more of a low and slow kind of guy, I figure you got to own at least one min dia and with all the new DMS from Aerotech I guess i'm out of excuses.
So here it is so far, its a Loc 38mm tube with two layers of 6oz fiberglass. 1/8 inch ply fins with a layer of 6oz on each side. The plan will be to do another layer of 6oz spanning each fin and tube. I have a slimline retainer that will go nicely. Only thing I need to pick up is a couple of rail guides and and I will be set. It will stand roughly 49 inches tall, and from the looks of the OP sim it will not require any extra nose weight no matter what motor I pick.
I don't think I will DD I may just go strait streamer, it will have a altimeter and I will try out the new GPS locator system I bought, if It can take the 170ft per landing.
