Inspired by Kraken, Ular, Golden Acorn, Paralyzer, Bluefin Tuba, Six Pack and Serval ( I have a problem, I know that ).
But how to test? Unless someone wants to help me get the first one setup in OpenFoam, I'm a bit out of my depth on CFD. I've read plenty of whitepapers on gridfins, but no working examples.
Burning a bunch of g150's would do the job, but would run the bill up pretty quickly.
So anyway, I've just ordered a decent number of d21's. I think I can grind past mach1 & stay there for under $10 a pop, and break through transonic with d21-d10 staged.
"You're crazy!" I hear you saying. Yup, that's true. So after this round I'll upscale and compare/contrast 5,6,7,8 fins. Next stop, Mach 2?
