Hi folks,
I was thinking about this yesterday,
I remembered a rocket i saw once made from a triangular FedEX mailing tube with a 3-sided nose 'pyramid'.
I was daydreaming about what other interesting rocket designs i could dream up with the restriction that the only tube or non-flat component allowed be the motor mount.
Such a rocket could be very simple and inexpensive to make, as you could just print or laminate the plan onto some card stock, balsa, thin plywood, etc, (depending on scale and personal preference), cut along the outlines, glue and you're essentially done.
Besides the "FedEX rocket" is anyone aware of any others that fit the description? I'm very curious to see how much this idea has already been explored by others already.
I have in mind a couple of cool rocket concepts i might try to create at some point, they're definitely going on (my already too long) to-do list.
I think it might make a great theme for a contest, and some very interesting creations would certainly result. Wat do you think?
