Hello All,

Here is a downloadable paper model of Orbital Sciences Corporation's Pegasus satellite launch vehicle: http://www.orbital.com/images/Graph...per_Pegasus.pdf It is a profile glider, capable of being either hand-launched or catapult-launched (using a rubber band tied to a stick). It could also be flown as a parasite boost-glider, or (using a body tube/nose cone fuselage) as a rear-motor boost-glider fitted with a rear-ejection, front-ballasted motor pod tube (equipped with rear fins for stability) for stable powered ascents.

There is a 1/48 Pegasus paper model that was on the Hudson Valley site. I have the pdf if you would like a copy.

Thank you. If it isn't too big, though (in terms of file size--I don't know what the maximum is for YORF message attachments, but I've attached fairly large PDFs to my postings here with no problems), you could post it here so that everyone could have access to it.

Indeed--thank you! And it's not the only one on that page that has possibilities for model rocket flight conversion (see: http://jleslie48.com/gallery_models_postapollo.html ).
