Old Design -- SM-3

[CPMcGraw]

This was a semi-scale version of the Standard Missile used in the February 2008 shoot-down of that decaying satellite over the Pacific. It's a bear to balance, as it takes 1.5 oz of mass at the shoulder of the nose cone to get a safe margin. The model, as presented, is single-stage, and requires a custom-cut balsa transition.
