Many of you know of Chris Michielssen and his model rocketry building blog. Just a wonderful resource. And he is a master builder. Well his Solar Sailer II build got me thinking upscale.
Now I know that is NOT a unique idea. I get it. Coker did it as others have as well. And an upscale from a .97 to 2.6 is a LONG rocket. So instead I used liberal amounts of changes to come up with a 29mm powered "sort of Solar Sailer" scratcher. I would say "In the spirit of"
I am not sure this is the final ork file. And it may not even be practical. But its an idea. And I 3D printed using PETG the BT80 scaled BNC50J
Note I intend on using the dowels and stuff. Just don't think OpenRocket would care.
