I can't see them. Gone over all 6 pages
Now that this thread is active again, I'll take the opportunity to say that this is possibly the best-named rocket of all time.
Hmmm.... this project has had me mulling over lots of ideas..... most of them have a sound like " KRAKEN IT "
Since you have prooved that 6 supported tube fins (supported by each other) can survive Mach transition, what do people think of the idea of 6 fiberglass Kraken style fins? Do you think that they would survive as well as the BFT??
Here's a rough cut mailing tube I'm using to play w/this exact idea.
38/42mm tube, mostly just for deciding how to jig.
Actually, I have a printout that I refer to in cases when I'm considering different tube fins build. I'd like to credit the person who developed it but I don't remember from what site I downloaded it.
Anyway, it's attached to this post....er, scratch that. I found the link.

It's your basic 30/60/90 clipped delta... in 3D!
Anybody know :
- the angles on a Kraken
- of any other swept tube kits
- of any swept tubefin studies
?
edit:
You've kinda lost me there.
So the cut angle of the tube on the top is 30* and the bottom is 60*

So, did the Composite version ever get built & flown ?
