Brief:
Mounted sustainer fins using long edge as the root edge. Did not use the
auxiliary fins. Added 0.3oz of clay to the nosecone for stability.
Modifications:
All modifications were made with the parts supplied in the original kit. Just
mounted the sustainer fins in a different orientation and didn't use the
auxiliary fins. The original rocket needs 0.2oz of nosecone weight to be
stable. (See

on the original design on this web site.) This configuration needed just a
little more. A RockSim file has been uploaded to detail the design mods. This
configuration flies significantly higher than the original design.
Construction:
Purely from the original kit.
Went together in a single Saturday. Nice set of decals that add to the "military scale" simulation.
