Here are a couple of ST-10 based downscales from Sept. 2006.

The first one is a 0.44X version of the Centuri (Semroc) Hustler, with the Little Hustler color scheme. (Talk about the "best of both worlds." ;) ) Please notice the 1/4" long RR-7 which secures the engine hook.

I'm very impressed with the simulation results, but not entirely surprised, since this was one of Lee Piester's early designs (IIRC). Sometimes cool looking rockets fly great, too! :eek: :rolleyes: :chuckle:

You couldn't squeeze any more out of those Dv's, could you? :eek: :D

That's an incredible run with three different power levels, all below 3 FPS, and two below 1 FPS! Great work, Jay. These should be popular.

Carl, if you're reading, this one might make a good kit! :)

P.S. Are you done building that Interociter yet? :eek: :rolleyes: :D

The plasma conduit feeding the antimatter injector has a crossed thread... :(

It's waiting for spares from the factory. I was told they were shipped via DHL...
