This was a kit I saw years ago, and really interested me. It's scale, it's currently flying, and the satellite launch concept is just cool. https://www.orbital.com/SpaceLaunch/Pegasus/
I purchased this from lawndartman in the yard sale here a while back (thanks!). True Modelers Rocket Kits https://tmrk.rocketshoppe.com makes some really nice scale kits - if you're a scale fan, check them out. The instructions are fantastic, and made for an enjoyable build. The built-up wing, fins, and tail made it more interesting than a typical build.
Has anyone here launched one of these? The instructions recommend 3 x D12-3 for the first flight, but my sims say a 3 x D12-5 is better, with a coast time of about 4.8s. This is a 2.6 inch, 18 oz bird.
