Another episode of Guess The Rocket!

Just finished this obscure rocket:


What is it?
First correct answer gets bragging rights

 

[kuririn]

From my fading memory, it reminds me of an Estes DOM.
Ganymede something.

Found it!

Could be but nosecone is wrong

 

[kuririn]

I see you added a plastic nose cone with canopy instead of the balsa one.

Hadn't seen that one before, I like the design.

 

[goose_in_co]

Kuririn,
Close, oh so close, but no cigar.
The plastic canopy nose cone is part of the plan, there are several other minor items that are different
But the wings appear to be the same, which makes me wonder, which came first. or who copied who?

Kuririn,
The Ganymede is a 1969 copyright date, and this plan was part of a 1990 contest. I guess that you could say that the Ganymede "inspired" this design.

So it's a plan and not a kit?

 

[3stoogesrocketry]

Looks like a old FATCAT design .

 

[kuririn]

this plan was part of a 1990 contest

That is a great clue, but I'm coming up empty when I check the newsletters and publications.

Correct, a kit would be too easy.

That is a great clue, but I'm coming up empty when I check the newsletters and publications.

I was hoping that you would catch that.

I'll drop another clue tonight, if no one can figure it out.

Next Clue:

The plan is on the JimZ plans website, and it is not a DOM or manufactures plan contest.

Happy Hunting!

And....its still built with a different nosecone....it should use the same nosecone as the Interceptor.

 

[goose_in_co]

We have a Winner!!!

Congrats Kuririn, this is truly an obscure design.

And....its still built with a different nosecone....it should use the same nosecone as the Interceptor.

You got me.
But it is the Argosy nose cone, a little longer, and a lower canopy.

Absolutely frumious!
