I like any scale missile, especially one I've actually worked on.
Penguin looks cool. And this sea sparrow. Are these traditional cardboard tubes or fiberglass?
I like it, but would not buy it because there's too much similarity to the IRIS-T I just built. I would like it best if you included the weird details of the wings, with three separate steps in thickness. It looks like the CAD drawing is missing a transition towards the front, is that intentional? I assume omission of the massive wiring tunnel on the underside *is* intentional...
Whoops sorry, I missed the block 2/block 1 differences. I personally find the block 1 to be a bit more interesting, but both are interesting subjects. The transition adds a bit of cost but not that much really; the rest of the rocket is pretty straightforward.Roc Sim isn't my specialty, so I can't do a lot of details.
As for the transition, there isn't one on the Block 2, explained in post 4.
The difference between a kit with exact details and one that looks like real missile is $$
Since we are talking Low Power here, I'd like to keep the price as low and possible.

Either one is going to need some nose weight I would imagine; those fins are pretty small.
That penguin will be a pain to get flying. Probably needs a brick in the nose.
Sounds correct.Yea, the 5 or 6 I put together in RocSim over the past week or so all needs nose weight.
They stopped making E9s, only E12s now. In any case, if you put a BP E motor back there you're *really* gonna need nose weight.It's my personal goal to get some that goes 1500 to 2000 feet on Estes E9's.
