OK, I'm going to start something really radical, before I change my mind.
I'm Eric Truax- the one who created the scud missiles and other card rockets and scale static card models available at:
https://www.dpileggispicks.com
Ive had a bit of a love/hate experience here on TRF over the last few years, but have made some cool friends, and gotten to know others online as well ..
I thought Id try something new...
As the SCUD models s are now becoming a bit mainstream, its time to kick things up a notch or 2!
Before I lose my nerve, and change my mind, Im posting that I'm coming out of hiding, and going semi public for a bit, here, on this forum, to do a building as I go thread on a new project:
A flying 1/24th scale model THOR variant missile.
Maybe 2 versions. One with the warhead nose, and an XSM prototype?
This is going to be a mid-power version. Quite large, and possibly very ambitious for a flying rocket made from cardstock.
Of course, I tend to think I can do anything till Mother Nature, physics, or the 'LAW' prove me otherwise.
.I laid out the basic plan for a finned final production test type in ROCK-SIM. The first real trouble I am having, is that I cannot input a WEDGE fin shape into the program. So if someone knows how to do this, it would help with preliminary data.
Of course many things I do tend to send these programs into fits, and I end up having to best guess and flight test models till I get them right!
.especially with something the MMX Regulus flyers.
SO HERE I GO! (I think ....)
