When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
The A.C.M.E. Spitfire uses a similar design but it doesn't match the actual comic. So I used the actual Farside comic and set about to draw a scale model of the iconic rocket.
So here's my question... What would you anticipate the flight of this rocket to look like?
Armed with these dimensions I picked a body tube size, BT-80H, and then scaled all the dimensions based on that body tube. I fired up the CAD station and created a Model.
I then built an OpenRocket simulation using a straight line version but with the actual diameter and lengths from the CAD model. I wanted to know what size motor might be needed.
Looks like a flyer. So I knocked out a CAD drawing showing the configuration of the fuselage.
It's a rear eject spool design with a 29mm motor mount. None of that is shown in the CAD model / drawings.
So here's my question... What would you anticipate the flight of this rocket to look like?
Will the nose cone direct it into an arc that will produce a lawn dart?
Will it crab in flight, flying crooked?
Thanks for reviewing this data... and for your comments.
