Default Naram-57

I am finishing up packing my car for Tucson, Arizona and NARAM-57.

This is the 'closest' a NARAM has been to my home in many years.

I am looking forward to seeing some YORF folks out there.

See you there, Bob.

According to FedEx, my rockets arrived at the hotel today and I'll be there Friday night, assuming American Airlines doesn't screw up too badly.

Bob,

I'll only be ther Saturday and Sunday for the flyoffs, but please stop by and say hi. I don't have enough room to bring my Initiator for you to sign.

Photo below is one of the things I'll be flying.

Steve- what is that particular rocket, and what does your model use for power ?

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

GH, thanks for asking.

It is a scratch built model of India's first rocket, the Rohini 75. I chose it not because of its historical interest but because of its dimensions and clean lines.

I will be flying it in the flyoffs for the U.S. Spacemodeling Team in an event called S5, which is basically Scale Altitude. For those unfamiliar with the event your model gets judged like in scale competition with points awarded for adherance to scale, quality of build, difficulty of build, etc. Then those points are combined with points awarded for how high your model goes. So the model you choose and how you construct it are all part of the strategy.

Obviously I chose to go far more for altitude than for scale points.

This particular model was built out of pre-printed vellum paper, rolled on an appropriate sized mandrel (pics below). I've been building vellum competition models for years but this is the first time I've been able to find printable vellum paper which was very cool. My flight versions of the model weigh 14 grams (0.49 ounces). I could have made them much lighter but they will launch on a C6-7 so I needed the added noseweight for stability.

I'll let you know how it goes after the competition this weekend.

For anyone who wants to build a small flyable version of the Rohini you can find one on Neils Paper Models site.

Steve
