Hello all-
The Punk Rocket team is looking for our project for next year's Plaster Blaster and have stumbled on an idea that we like (because it'll be huge and funky), but we have many questions....
First off, here's a link to the plans for the original:
https://www.dars.org/jimz/cen5345.htm
We are thinking of working at approx. 9.14x up... based on a 36" outer ring, which would give us a finspan of nearly 9 feet! Not bad for a rocket that would only be 30" tall! Our initial discussions are leaning toward foam fins with hardwood edging covered with a couple of layers of glass to keep the weight down.
Oh, yeah...just to add another layer of difficulty, we are thinking about loading the "solar panels" with LEDs and night launching it...
Any suggestions/concerns/donations for mental health therapy? Anyone got the skill with Rocksim to try and build a model of this monster?
