Default Robert H. Goddard & WWII Booklets

Purchased both the Robert H. Goddard & WW II Rocket booklets. Great drawings!

Plan was to read the booklets cover to cover while making my decision which rocket to design first.

As soon as I saw the Ruhrstahl X-4, those thoughts got canned.

In the process of designing it out of cardstock. One thing notice right away, the fuselage is curved the whole way. Since really would like this to fly, will mimic the curves. If I do the correct amount, the model would weigh too much and be weaker, due to the number of joints needed.

This rocket is very interesting in other areas as well. Will be designed full scale.

Booklets are fantastic!

Thinking of doing a design thread in the cardstock section.

Best regards,
Mike Bauer
