Default Tau Zero Christine Lenora

I built this rocket from an builders kit put out by Radical Rocketry. Its based upon the Christine Lenora, an interstellar ramscoop ship from a book called Tau Zero by Poul Anderson.

He supplies the 3d printed parts, you supply the tubes, recovery gear, and other small parts. It was a challenging build, due to the rudimentry instructions. I won't bore you all with the construction details, etc, but its posted on the Rocketry Forum if you want to see it.





It flew well on an E12-4, about 550' high according to Rocksim.
