I was just chucking around some stuff on Rocksim looking for a fun idea for a scratchbuilt rocket for my L2. I ended up running into a few limitations of RSim doing this (it wouldn't let me make the root edge of the fins any longer than this )
Anyway, this is the roughest of rough drafts. It's quite stable even without any recovery or electronics in it. I've been thinking of putting pods on the ends of the fins as well as either a) some sort of cockpit towards the back or b) using the 4" Argosy nosecone. Right now, it has 36" body tubes from Binder Design and the Binder avionics bay as well. This may change to 48" PML phenolic tubes and a homemade alt bay. Either way the tubes will be glassed.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
