This is a pseudo-scale design representing a possible derivative of this family. Using the basic outline of the A150 Standard, I created a larger booster, which then carries an Aerobee 150 Standard as the sustainer.

Although the model is of a two-stage vehicle, it is flown as a single-stage model.

Length: 27.79"
Diameter: 1.04" (ST-10)
Fin Span: 5.08"
Weight: 1.55 oz


A8-3......163'......Dv 13 FPS
B4-4......390'......Dv 16 FPS
B6-4......395'......Dv 13 FPS
C6-5......825'......Dv 21 FPS


All engines reach flight V on a 36" x 1/8" standard rod.

Enjoy!

Thanks, Ray. It just popped in my head earlier tonight, and seemed like something that "should have been"...
