Skip to Post 22 for Flight Report
In my continuing exploration of asymmetric fin designs (perhaps better described as "How NOT to build a rocket") I came up with a modification of the basic 3FNC design. This is the SlipStream (alternative name was WhackJob, that just didn't have the ring I was looking for.)
The question was, if I did the standard 3 fins, spaced 120 degrees from each other, but put ALL of them on one side of the rocket, would it fly, and would it fly well? For those who think I wouldn't post this if it DIDN'T fly well, I'd have to say they need to look at a few of my past attempts (the Stinker was particularly well named.)
Anyway, feel free to vote in the poll or not. I'll give it a few days, and then post the flight report.
As always, comments (positive and negative) appreciated.
