Love to know how...
Thank you for the new parts. Not sure how to assemble them.
Love to know how to do this. I have a project in mind that is way over my head to design. I'm trying to combine several different projects to make this model. Interested?

I forget sometimes that I have been figuring out other people's cardstock models for several years. So, what seems obvious to me, may not to another.
But, I am always willing to try something! ___ |

BSG Eastern Alliance Destroyer
Here is what I would like to see in paper as a a flyable rocket.
I started to build the F-15 Eagle fuse but found it would not work out.

I looked at it. Might take a while for that one!

More glueing
I placed the wing end plugs in the other day. I wonder if an additional part of the top fin would help reinforce the fin?
mycrofte? One more thing on the wing end caps, you may want to move one of the gray shading lines to the opposite side, in which you have a left and a right. Great model, I can't wait to fly it.

You mean to add an end cap to the top fin? I think I left it open to give it a Vulcan feel to it.
But I added end caps to the wings to keep them from bulging and misshaping as cardstock will do. _________ |

Icarus came first!
It is an Icarus, not a Vulcan, in fact, the Icarus came first so the Vulcan is an offshoot of the Icarus.
Can I have a tailcap please? Did I tell you this is a great model? Oh, I almost forgot, this IS your model and that you did a great job desiging it! BTW...., This post should be taken as lightly as possible! :

As an alternative, an open, flat cardstock "A" frame or triangle frame would stiffen the "vertical stabilizer wedge strake" while leaving the rear of it open. This would not only save weight, but would also leave open the possibility of later installing (if desired) a second motor mount tube (for a 6 mm or 13 mm motor) atop the fuselage, within the strake. Such a booster motor (not necessarily a zero-delay motor, although they would work for this application) would help overcome the blunt-tailed model's base drag, and (if the motor mount tube was plugged in front) the motor would eject itself, giving another slight boost and giving the model a proper glide CG.

I'll try to get on that.
Been working on Revolutionary War maps for my brother. Very time consuming! __________ |

Here are some corrected Icarus PDF files. Let me know how they work!
That is assuming, with the mess that folder has become, that I grabbed the right files... ____________ |
