Also, post-1974, it would have had a solid balsa transition, with the upper section serving as a payload section and the recovery system being deployed out of the lower section as in your first version.
Mark,

Think of the FSI Penetrator colliding with the Centuri Excalibur. (I'm sure you've seen my ~1.37X Excalibur ST-10/13 upscale elsewhere on this forum. )

Anyway, I like it! (But I'm sure that you must have already anticipated that! ) Lately I have been thinking about creating an imaginary series of "FSI designs that were never produced." (Notice that I said "designs" not "kits," so no jokes, please. ) You have already come up with one!
Yes. But just *one.* (sly look)

Glad you like it! Thanks for playing!


Cheers,
