I'm not really looking to build it (yet), I'm more interested in simming it up for those who might be interested in cloning it.
I did turn this up though...

The lifting body model (a scale X-38, I think) that's shown on the last page looks interesting, too... Regarding the Groove Tube clone that's covered in the article, I don't think you need to settle for a balsa duplicate of its plastic nose cone, as Sirius Rocketry www.siriusrocketry.com makes polyurethane resin duplicates of quite a few Estes and Centuri plastic nose cones, in their "Moldin' Oldies" product line. Also, just because a particular nose cone isn't listed *doesn't* necessarily mean that they don't have it, because I ordered several Centuri nose cones that aren't listed, and never were--here (see: http://www.siriusrocketry.biz/ishop...s-and-parts-26/ ) is their "Moldin' Oldies" store page. If you don't see any nose cone listed, ask them! They only list the most-ordered ones.
