I've been thinking that there is some scale data that should just be available to everyone. I can think of a few basic subjects--something by Goddard, the V-2, Mercury-Redstone, Vostok, Saturn V, and a few others--that are essential scale subjects. So I figure I should upload some sort of basic scale data for these wherever rocketeers congregate.
I decided to start with Goddard, but instead of that unflyable first rocket of March 16, 1926, I thought I'd upload his A-3, which has nice big fins, and no crazy steering vanes to model (and break off) at the back end. Since this site seems to be OK with pdf files, I'll just attach it.
Let me know if you'd like to see more, what subjects would be among the ten or so "Essential" subjects, and where else it would make sense to post this and possible other subjects.
