Art Applewhite's Cinco is a cool, saucer design. I have still not built the original but I did build the 38mm version. Its nice to be able to satisfy an HPR itch on smaller fields and this rocket fits the ticket.

I call mine the "Sky Shark" and have used the iconic image from the cover of Jaws for the artwork.

My TRF thread for the Sky Shark is here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=385

Art offers a 13mm version of the Cinco for free download on his site. I used the dowlowded files and added a bit of artwork to produce a little rocket that I could fly at demos in tight areas, like my church parking lot.

This one does not seem to have a thread in either the archive of here on TRF.

It has a minimal album on Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/23694...l]31484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]31485[/ATTACH]

Art Applewhite Rockets

Cinco (38mm)

NUMBER

Introduced: 2007
Final Year:
Designer: Art Applewhite

Type: Oddroc, Saucer
Motor Mount: 1x38mm
Recovery: Aerobrake
Stages: 1
Length: 6"
Diameter: 11"
Span: 11"
Weight: 4.2 oz.

Mfg. Description: Recommended motors: Any 38mm G, H or I motor with an average thrust between 50 and 250 Ns. This kit can be built in a few hours using white glue and a sharp craft knife. This five-sided flying saucer's "low and slow" ascent makes it perfect for small field and windy days. The foolproof aerobrake recovery system ensures this rocket descends slowly and safely and lands close to the pad every time. (Art Applewhite 2011 Web Ad)
