Question Vulcan??

Need some help here.
Some years ago I built a "finless" bird that I believe was called the "Vulcan." It had a hardwood nosecone and a cardstock shroud making up for the fins. I was a kit, but I cannot remember by whom. Any info would be appreciated. This bird flew well and made a neat sound on the way up. I flew it it on all size 18mm, A8-C6's. Want to build another.

Thanks 8-)

Jack

Centuri made it.

Warm up your printer, get some cardstock and make a clone.

Thanks, but that's the Vulcan that comes up in the search, but the one I'm looking for had a "reverse" tailcone for the stabilizer, and a longer shaped nosecone, hardwood.

For the life of me I can't remember the company's name.

Centuri had a design contest winner called "Finless" that was made like that, but the nosecone was balsa. Assuming my memory is working correctly...

He posted a TIFF, you probably need a TIFF reader installed to view it.

Here's a PNG you should be able to view.

... okay, why can't I upload a 132 kb PNG if you can upload a similarly sized TIFF?

gah.

Here's a link from my website. Dang dain bramaged forum software...

Thank You All. Most kind of you to helpp out. 8-)
