DESCON 01 - Here is me Gif..(VCP screen shot). Avast! it was resized t' be 640 tall and is slightly clipped. This should nay take away from it t' much.
I have t' tell you this will be me first totally home made rocket and I created it without "copying" any type o' rocket t' me knowledge. I be told after t' fact that it looked a bit like t' "Honest John", I however had no idea what that looked like till I found some pictures on t' web. I can't decide if it will be a low-alt D12 or a 1000k+ D12cluster (3 motors).. Other option would be jump up t' a NCR F and I'm just nay wantin' t' loose this work o' art just yet..... wRASP will tell later in t' game when I have weights and balance 85-90% figured..
This is called t' United States Postal Service 1st Class Delivery Rocket USPS1CDR for short.
It will be Painted t' look like a delivery tube sent first class , ya bilge rat, in t' standard Postal Blue and Red.
T' NC and Boattail will be made from StyroFoam Cones and will be hand turned t' shape. Begad! Ahoy! They will be Filled and Smooth. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! (this is me next challenge) FnF here I come...
T' Body is a Standard 2x24 postal tube 16th inch thick walls and Overall sturdy.
T' Fins will be .125 Inch Basswood or a 3ply homebrew Balsa Plywood. Well, me hearties, blow me down! ( I will make t' plywood me self.) each fin will have a double tabbed slot in t' tube for max strength.
T' joy o' this so far is I have less then $6.00 in parts and less then $10.00 in supplies for it. (most o' which can be used for many rockets.)
It is lookin' like it will be 35 inches tall and 2.875 inches at t' NC's widest point.
