Default TACITE cardstock rocket

Hello All,

The French ONERA TACITE sounding rocket would make a good beginners' cardstock scale model rocket (see scale data for it here: http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showt...1020#post131020 ). It had a biconical nose cone (although it could also use a 3:1 ogive nose cone) and faceted "wedge-section" clipped delta fins with blunt, square-cut trailing edges. Both the nose cone and the fins of the TACITE vehicle lend themselves to cardstock construction.

I hope this information will be useful.
