So there I was .. pondering my Christmas in July gift box... and it just looked like it needed a motor and some fins.
Y'all get these ideas too, right? I'm not the only crazy here?
We have round rockets, and we have square rockets, well, by golly I want a triangle rocket.
I was thinking about it out in the desert at a too-windy-to-fly club launch. I actually sketched out some ideas while I was sitting up late.
I was even thinking dimensions because when I came home I somehow knew it all had to be 3" multiples.
So a corrugated cardboard 'tube' - 3" sides and I would make this for a 24mm mount. D/E size
30" tall + 3" NC .. maybe 27" tall (3 cubed!) and 30" total
Was hoping to do something cool with the fins like that top-down sketch, but not sure it's going to be possible. Now I'm thinking I might make them 3-dimensional - like a single fold cardboard and open at the bottom; but they would just be attached to the sides.
