the decals were made from Bel decal stock. I am starting another one that will be powered by D12-0 and E9-6. The building instructions are on the web and with a little care and a pencil you can figure out all the measurements. Give it a try! I had great fun doing mine.

I finally got around to modelling the Omega on RSim after reading this thread.
RSim shows the thing to be quite stable stacked with an E9-0 booster and and E9-8 sustainer, with a predicted altitude of 1/2 mile (2600 + ft.). I modeled it with the following minor modifications:
1. Eliminate the forward payload bay and multiple 'chutes. Make the sustainer body tube the net 19" long, and install a single 18" chute. I indicated 60" of 1/4" flat elastic shock cord.
2. Move the thrust ring in the sustainer motor tube forward 1", and increase the mass of the engine hook to 1.9 grams.
3. Eliminate the thrust ring entirely from the booster motor tube. The booster motor tube is only 4" long anyway, so the bt50 stage coupler in the forward end of that motor tube will work nicely as the "thrust ring" if only inserted 1/2" into the front of said motor tube and the overall length trimmed as necessary.
4. Again, increase the mass of the motor hook on the booster to 1.9 grams to account for the additional 1" in length.
5. Eliminate the C-rail guide system and standoffs. Install standard flush-mount lugs (if you
do plan to use a rail, use rail buttons and dont mess with that flimsy setup in the plans)
Let 'er rip and pray for no higher elevation winds to carry the thing away!
