I have a problem. I'm trying to do a Scratch Build of an AIM-120 AMRAAM, and I got the Specs from the AIM-120 AMRAAM Gallery here.
JAL3 makes a Post about the Rocketarium Kit, which is a 1.6" Kit, same as what I'm using, and states that the Length is like 34 point something inches. Rocketariums Site says 24". That can't be right.
What Length should my Build be????
I only made it as far as mounting the Rear Fins, and thought it looks too long, but going by some Pics', it looks like the Rocket is supposed to be about 6X the Span of the Rear Fins in Length. I can't do Math, so I scale things by Printing Pictures and cutting them up and comparing sizes of things.
To make my Fin Templates I simply held a small section of BT against my Computer and Zooming a Picture of a Diagram until the Tube was the same, then I traced the Fins by holding a Piece of Paper against the Screen.
Anyhow, now I'm frustrated, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
