ok... i would have just done this normally but i figured id be more entertaining as a story...
after a long hard day of skateboarding...
hehe
i was about to go to sleep around 3 am when i got this idea...
3 am and im still a sexy beast
flying pyramid... now yeah i had no idea if this is gonna be stable or not so i decided to ask the guys at the rocketry forum! i took down a few notes and ideas just to see how this would work...
whoohoo! notes and ideas!
and then i made a few 3d sculptures just to see the size i would be dealing with...
pyramid
ok now really... i had the idea... but i didn't know how i would create a retreaval jsystem... then it hit me... the bottom peice would look something along the line of this:
bottom peice
now of course this would be part of the pyramid... the sticks would be on the inside... that would hold the engine mount straitght... now the mount (that would essentially also be the body tube) would look like this:
pretend its a normal mount lol
the sticks on the mount would hold it from going too far in and hitting the top of the pyramid... the streamer would be attached to the tube and the pyramid and when the ejection charge the pyramid would blow off and it would float down...
kinda hard to visualize... basically would this be stable in flight?
