Default Alouette 1 model (link)

Hello All,

I just came across this downloadable card stock model of the Canadian Alouette 1 satellite (see: http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/satellites/alouette.asp ). It could be converted to a flying model rocket by utilizing its downward-angled (canted turnstile) telemetry antennas as stabilizers, like the old Estes Design Book 'styrofoam ball and dowels' designs ("Moonik," "Sputnik, Too," etc.).

I hope this material will be helpful.
