Performance hobbies performer series plans?

[Voyhager3]

So i was going to make another minimum diameter/ high flying rocket and I was going to use this 29mm 5.5:1 vk NC from Ken, and while looking through his website I found about the performer series of rockets, and I decided I would make a performer 29 since he doesn't carry one. But I wound need some dimensions, I'll ask, I doubt he'll know or even give me the dissensions, but I thought one of you guys might have one, so I came here to ask if anyone had a performer kit, and would be willing to give me some dimensions so I could scale it down to the sizing that I need, and then I would post the OpenRocket files once I do so. Any size would obviously be fine, but just make sure to specify which one you have.
Any info is helpful, thank you!

Airframe component dimensions for the Performer series are on his website at https://performancehobbies.com/secure/store.aspx?groupid=3920179470987. You should be able to scale them accordingly.

Wildman also produces (produced?) a 29mm MD kit in their Blackhawk 29. Sim file can be found on Rocket Reviews at: https://www.rocketreviews.com/wildman-rocketry-black-hawk-29-9239.html

Yeah i guess, i overlooked that those probably are the air frame dimensions, and I can figure out where to put the electronics bay. But guess I need to find the fin dimensions somewhere. Someone probably has them, and If not, I can make something that resembles it

Open Rocket will read RockSim files. You can use the Blackhawk file and adjust body tube lengths as appropriate. Similarly you can use the Blackhawk fin shapes as a starting point and modify them to your liking to resemble the fins on the Performer series, the program will adjust your CP and Stability accordingly.

You can print out the fin shapes from the program to serve as a template if you are cutting your own, or I know of at least one laser cutting service who will work from the OR file to cut fins.

E-mail him, I’m sure he would be able to get you a custom cut set of fins and sell you some airframe or couplers if you need them

Update: I found a ORK file for the 150! So ill be scaling it down, and ill post the scaled down plans here.
Found them here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/performance-hobbies-performer-150.125068/
So thank you @Handeman for creating the ork file!

I forwarded your post to Ken Allen, his reply:

I can make him one. I have a 29mm nosecone in stock. ...... Also have airframe & can easily cut the 1/16” fins. Can you tell him to contact me?

Thanks!

I'm emailing him about that right now, and maybe I'll be able to get it this weekend!

 

[Voyhager3]

Just followed up with Ken and he is making me one! And I’ll be able to get it this weekend!

 

[Voyhager3]

I got the rocket from Ken!
He said it’s not perfectly to scale, but it’s close enough. I’ll finalize the plans in the next few days, and post them here.

 

[Voyhager3]

They are not perfectly to scale, but ken said it would be close enough as he had some tubes lying around.

I like those fins! Similar 6” version!

Is that the 150? Or just a similar design?

It’s a one-off design. Fins are just remarkably similar though. 6”x131.” Fins are massive.
