Galaga Sprite

[EeebeeE]

Spent about 2.5 hours today designing a rocket I would never fly, so I am offering up the Open Rocket files in hopes that someone will build this. This is the "Sprite" from the early 1980's video gam, Galaga. It is the 4-gun version that you had to earn by freeing another Sprite. This is a 12" diameter rocket with a 98mm hole. It needs over 35 pounds of ballast in the nose, but it should fly. There is no recovery system in this design so that the builder is free to do what they think is best. I'd love to see someone build this and post a video. It is above my pay scale.

It would be cool to do some air start 75mm motors on the aft end of the guns. Pretty significant moment on doing so but I think it could be built strong enough.

That would be cool.
