Exclamation New Plan -- Stratos

What a reversal of designs this one is, compared to other recent trends!

This is a simple throw-down design, with good to moderate performance, in the 3FNC category. No open-frame fins, just plain-vanilla slabs with some Snitch-style anglularity. This should be a good one for your everyday "time-filler" flying...

Length: 21.20"
Diameter: 1.04" (ST-10)
Fin Span: 4.04"
Weight: 1.22 oz

A8-3.......244'......Dv 10 FPS
B4-4.......572'......Dv 25 FPS
C6-7......1274'......Dv 27 FPS

All motors reach flight velocity on a standard rod. Reef the parachute shrouds on the "B" and "C" motors for safe recovery.

Note the 2D image this time: It's in Imperial measurements instead of Metric this time! There was a recent update for RockSim, and I think this may have been addressed in the update.

Enjoy!
