New Design -- Galactic Wanderer

[CPMcGraw]

Another SciFi & Fantasy design, borrowing from the past a bit...

Length: 23.625"
Diameter: 0.908" (ST-8)
Fin Span: 9.90"
Weight: 1.83 oz


A8-3......149'......Dv 14 FPS......36" x 1/8" rod......Needs 33", so take care!
B4-4......416'......Dv 9 FPS.......36" x 1/8" rod......Optimum engine
B6-4......429'......Dv 13 FPS......36" x 1/8" rod......Good second choice


The C6-5 and C6-7 are not recommended. Both have Dv numbers near 40 FPS.

Enjoy!

My first thought, looking at the fins, was that they might be good case for using some light glass. They seem susceptible to breaking on landing.

Then I realized that having glass on them would only make it harder to glue them back together after they break :)

I was thinking about the landing as I worked on those fins. That's why I opted for twin 12" chutes. It brings the descent rate down to 10 FPS, which is relatively soft.

This is sweet looking.

Only thing I might add would be a small lug at the root joint of the two fins.
Laser cannons, er something.

Now comes fully equipped with the latest model InFlight "Lay-zur-Ray" cannons... :D

Length: 23.625"
Diameter: 0.908" (ST-8)
Fin Span: 9.90"
Weight: 1.88 oz


A8-3......144'......Dv 16 FPS......36" x 1/8" rod......Use extreme caution - requires 33"
B4-4......406'......Dv 6 FPS.......36" x 1/8" rod......Still the optimum engine
B6-4......418'......Dv 12 FPS......36" x 1/8" rod......Best second-choice engine


The C6-5 and -7 are still not recommended.

Enjoy!

Seriously cool desin. Pressing a couple layers of glass (med) between forms would give great fin blanks; Then just cut to shape. would probably stay flexable enough to hold up to the odd landing.

Now comes fully equipped with the latest model InFlight "Lay-zur-Ray" cannons... :DThose are somewhat reminiscent of the Dean H. Fox "Ion Cannon" option that comes stock with the Semroc "Tau Zero." ;) :rolleyes: :cool:
