Scorpius Decal
I'd be happy to send them up.
I thought the Scorpius Decals were posted. I don't know if its really worthy of YORP [imho], but I'll zip it and send it anyway so that others can clean it to their level of perfection.
BTW the Scorpius pics I uploaded ended up in limbo, I attach them here again. Please note that the solar panels are decaled over chrome wraping paper glued to the balsa. I like the look.
About the dowel length - I think it depends. The instructions have the dowels resting perpendicular to the plane of the thrust ring, outside and parallel to the inner bt5(?) tube. this gave me a total pod length of 5.5 inches. The thickness of the thrust ring would be the only variable. I don't remember what came in the kit, but the original plans call them AR-520. is this the same as standard thrust rings'engine blocks? Whichever the case, going with the 5.5 inch overall length probably made the dowel 5 inches with .25 inch adapter rings.
