American Rocketeer - Finless (V4 N1) Gallery

I've started the build of the Centuri FINLESS at my rocket building blog at:
www.modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com
The plans were from the Centuri American Rocketeer magazine.

This was one of those designs I wanted to build in the mid 1970s and finally got around to it.
Stop by and build along -

Mfg. Description: An unusual design that is sure to draw interest on the launch pad. The finless rocket demonstrates that stability can be obtained thru use of shapes other than usual fin design. The tail fairings on Centuri's Saturn V work exactly the same way, helping to give stability without the need for greatly oversized fins. (American Rocketeer Vol. 4 No. 1)
