I'm working on yet another design, an alien atmospheric probe. It's supposed to have an organic look to it, borrowing the concept of long body strakes from the Arapaho-E (Squirrel Works), and using the long multi-section nosecone from the Estes Dark Energy kit. The fins are planned to be sanded a little more eliptical than shown in the picture, and Rocksim can't handle the multi-sectional nosecone. I'm cutting down the nosecone a bit, removing the rear section. It'll have 6 strakes.
Its 29" long, flies on a variety of 18mm and 24mm motors (up to D12-5, then Aerotech D22 or E26 motors). Weight is about 3.33 oz, allowing 15% for glue and paint. Tentative idea for paintjob is basecoat of turquoise, with perhaps a stripe or two, not sure yet.
