Exclamation New Design -- SpaceX Falcon 1

I was looking through the F1 "User Guide" last night and found a great set of line drawings for the early F1 that finally achieved orbit. With a little bit of GIMP scale-up, I was able to get the diameter of the body to match ST-8, making this a rather smart little 13mm bird.

The NC is a custom-cut, and I will set up a pattern at SEMROC for it. Look for BC-822-F1.

Fins are 0.015" clear polycarbonate. Maybe Carl can tell us if this stuff can be laser-cut.

Recovery is a 15" x 1.5" paper streamer.

Length: 11.90"
Diameter: 0.908" (ST-8)
Fin Span: 2.76"
Weight: 0.82 oz (with .125 oz ballast)


1/2A3-4T......222'......Dv 22 FPS......NO BALLAST......Requires 18" of a standard 36" x 1/8" rod......Avg of six runs
A3-4T.........508'......Dv 21 FPS......0.125 oz ballast......Requires 25" of a standard 36" x 1/8" rod......Avg of six runs


Share and Enjoy!
