Lodestar?
So we've all probably seen an Estes Loadstar (or II) in our day... but is anyone planning on designing / building a Lodestar? If so, what would it look like?
As a Canadian I have no particular horse in this race, but in my mind I see a four fin design (for the fourth estate), in black and white coloration (representing text on paper), with "Lodestar" written in an appropriate New York Times-y font on the body tube. Newspaper streamer recovery of course. I just can't decide on what shape of nose cone to go with though: cone, parabola, ogive, blunt?
Any other creative ideas?
