    Looking for GIRD-X plans

    I'm looking for plans/ drawings of the Russian GIRD-X rocket. There are pictures of it in the internet, but I haven't been able to find any more or less detailed dimensions. Does anyone have any information?

    Thanks.

    Smaller Gird plans here:

    Peter Alway's "Retro Rockets" has the Gird-X plans, too.

    If you can locate Steve LaCroix, UROC member, he built a full-scale Gird-X several years ago.

    Wow, there must be a Rocksim error if it's putting the CP at that location. The CP models probably weren't intended for long fins like that.

    This plan has 12 oz nose weight to compensate.

    WOW!
    Your work on those fins is remarkable. A while back I tried to Rocksim both the GIRD-X and LRD-D-1 but my attempts at their fins look rather pathetic. You wouldn't happen to have a RKT file for the LRD would you?

    Thanks for sharing.

    The CP is definitely further back for the Gird-X than shown in Rocksim.
