OK, the gray matter has started to smoke. WHat to build? What to build? What to build?
Sure, I supplied the requested list with the submission for this fantastic program, but I never even even hoped I would be selected. :blush:
Surprise, surprise...
So, now to call in the Tiger Team and lay out a plan. Personally, I am a low and slow guy, I want to see the whole flight. Just getting to watch a smoke trail in the distance never did anything for me. First it has to be low altitude. Secondly, keep it simple with single deploy and motor ejection. There will be a MAWD on board as a backup. Thirdly, it cannot suffer damage on landing. Fourthly, I have to KNOW that it will fly, so I'm sticking with proven layouts. Lastly, and most importantly, it has to fit my tastes. Get on back wit' dem' 3FNC's n' stuff.
After a LOT of pondering and rocksiming I think there is a candidate. But this may change if I run into any unforeseen problems in the early stages.
Ladies and Gentlepeoples, I present the upscale HMAS Bonestell!
It will be 3.9" LOC tubing with a 3.9" PML NC, 76mm MM and four really big ballz. The 2.6" Bonestell is shown for scale.
Here is the RS file for your perusal.

Your input would be greatly appreciated, just don't laugh at the finlets. :no:
I could not get them orthogonal, no matter what I tried.
