Thanks for the pointer on Jeff's review. He reports a 300 foot flight on the Vostock with a C6 which is a fair amount more than I would have thought. GH alludes to the Titan IIIc in his comments....seems like it would weigh in even more maybe. I've got both of the original issue kits, but have always wondered how they would perform with 18mm C's. Sounds like from what people are saying though, it's stuffing a decent recovery system in the tube and getting it out reliably that may be the real concern. Earl

Hi Earl,
Would it be possible to post the fin patterns for the Titan IIIc . I have a feeling this one is going to be a hard one to get in the air. Thanks. Frank. |

In the meantime, here are the pictures, before they disappear, from the auction listing which include the fins: Bill

Frank - Give me a day or two to pull kits out and do some scans. I think I have one IIIc opened, but not sure. Earl

Titan IIIc plastic fin scans
Ok, here are the fin scans from a vintage Titan IIIc kit. I was able to pull the kit out last night, but could not get around to scanning until tonight.
The root edge of the top two fins (the two that look like 'standard' type fin designs) is right on two inches long. Plastic is decently thick....not quite an 1/8th, but thicker than a 1/16th.....maybe 3/32 or so. Earl

Thanks Earl,
That was the missing pieces to te puzzle. Was the weight for the Titan IIIc the same as what was in the Vostok? Thanks again. Frank. |
