Exclamation New Design -- Dark Star

Here's a design I've been tinkering with since 2008. Going with the open-frame fins seems to work visually.

You will need a 48" x 3/16" launch rod, since all engines take at least 34" to reach safe flight V.

Length: 47.00"
Diameter: 1.34" (ST-13)
Fin Span: 8.43"
Weight: 3.63 oz


C11-5.......434'......Dv 19 FPS
D12-5.......970'......Dv 26 FPS
E9-6.......1565'......Dv 16 FPS


Enjoy!
