It is a cardstock (hopefully flyable) version I've been working on.
I ended up putting two small fins on the bottom after looking at the Estes rocket. But, the top is a lot more simple. I thought the Estes version was a bit chunky. So, the command center on top is actually a hollow rectangle. I never did like the commercial rockets with a foot long tube sticking out. Might end up being completely unstable. Then again, I thought the same thing about the Icarus... _______ |

I have often wondered if I could weight the nose enough, on the original Estes, to make it stable, without the long probe. And then if it would be light enough to still fly!

I designed this around a BT-20, but BT-5 on a 1/2A might fly better. I just didn't have a BT-5 handy to work with.
And I figured, if a Cubit can fly this should too! That is why I designed the rear tower as a triangle shaped fin instead of being more accurate to the model. And, it only has one deck level instead of 3 or 4. One deck level, on top and bottom, adds strength and detail without making it look like a brick. I'll put up my prototype files and maybe someone can come up with an idea or two! ____________ There is a gray line on the body where a BT-20 should end. I glued the rear (engine) piece on and ran a tube to have something solid to hold while building. I couldn't come up with a good way to make a cone, so I'm going with rear ejection and tumble recovery for now. _________ P.S. There are some places that may not have tabs yet. You may have to add your own! The sides of the deck were to small for natural tabs. I cut little strips to add. ________ |

EDIT: also, is there a bottom, or do i just print out 2 of the top? EDIT 2: nevermind. i figured it out EDIT 3: i printed it out and all i get is the glue tab on the first page and the words that are typed next to the peices on the second page Last edited by i luv duct tape : 03-30-2012 at 03:39 PM. |
