Do any of the rockets in the pictures fly, or are they in the design phase? Any plans for them? Thanks Chief

The plan book was suggested to Doug on multiple occasions in the past. Something like what Peter Alway did with Scale Bash, which I've always found an incredibly entertaining piece of work. So far, nothing has been able to shake anything loose except the occasional picture.

I sat in on a Shrox session on model rocket design at a NARCON years ago hoping he was going to give us some insight on how he comes up with his ideas or how he designs for stability. Unfortunately for me, it turned out to be an intro to Rocksim.

Give a man a rocket and he will fly for a day; teach him to build and he will spend the rest of his days sanding...

Whew... for a moment there, I thought you said you sat on a Shrox design...

Here are three more Shrox designs. http://web.archive.org/web/20040403.../shrockets.html

I wish he had put out the SHX-3.

Bill,

As I recall, he used lots of TLAR in his presentation. Rocksim was nowhere near capable then of sim'ing all the asymmetric stuff he would put into his birds, so he said he would draw them up (can't recall which drawing tool he used) and then stretch them here or there if he thought that would improve stability. Keep in mind, at that time, I think he had just gone to work at Apogee, so no doubt he had access to Rocksim But most of his rockets have struck me as being anything but 3FNC in the context of simulating.

For anyone wanting to build a Shrox style rocket (Shrocket), stop by your sporting goods store and get a pack of ping pong balls, then head to Fry's for some blank CD's (In the old days, you coulda used AOL CD's ) Then sit at your bench dreaming up ways of sliding that ping pong ball over a BT-50. Not sure what glue works best with CD's, tho
