Scale/Sport Scale YORF forum?
Hello All,
What do you think about adding a Scale/Sport Scale forum to YORF (provided that it's acceptable to the YORF managerial staff, of course)? I just posted scale data on the South Korean Naro-1 SLV (Satellite Launch Vehicle, see: http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showt...93827#post93827 ) in the "FreeForAll" forum because it has the closest subject "fit" among the existing forums. (The "Plans" forum is for rocket kit plans that *may* be [but usually aren't] plans for scale rocket kits.) The Scale/Sport Scale forum would encompass scale data of all kinds (including measurements taken from full-scale rockets on display) as well as provide a venue for scale data swapping among model rocketeers, coverage of Scale and Sport Scale model rocket competitions, photos of builders' Scale and Sport Scale models, discussion of F/F (Future/Fiction) scale model rockets, etc. What d'y'all think? |
I love scale rockets, because you can tell the good builders from the great builders (I am not sure I qualify as a good one, yet BTW). I love to see the work of craftsmen.
Whether they are kits are scratch built, I like to see them. Regardless, I want to know what Scott thinks. Greg |
I like that idea... so long as it encompasses "sport scale" as well as the months-long projects... :)
Later! OL JR :) |
You mean the "years long" projects, don't you? In some cases it has taken me much longer to build a scale version than it took to develop the original. :rolleyes:

Speaking of F/F (Future Fiction Scale), here is a science fiction spaceship that I'd wager has never been built and flown as a scale model rocket: www.starshipmodeler.com/other/cl_vf.htm . Imagine the RockSim file for this one! Probably the only F/F Scale model that would be more "un-aerodynamic" than the Valley Forge space freighter is the Earthship Ark from "The Starlost."

Create a poll and see how many people would be interested in one. If enough people show interest, I have no problem making a scale area for you guys.
|
That Valley Forge ship looks like it would fly about as well as a full-scale GARBAGE TRUCK powered by an A8-3.
The awful "SALVAGE-1" is MUCH more aerodynamic. |
Great idea! I am 100% in favor of a 'Scale' category. Dunno why I didn't think of it!
