The 1st rocket I have built since the mid 1980's, designated as BAR-1, this rocket design is a "scratch build" heavily influenced by the Star Wars X-Wing Fighter. It also borrows from the Centuri Rocket Times X-Wing Fighter Design contest, circa 1977.
An Estes Alpha was the first model I ever built, back in the early 70's. This rocket is heavily influenced by the Star Wars X-Wing Fighter. Also borrows from the Centuri Rocket Times X-Wing Fighter Design contest, circa 1977.
This rocket is scaled to utilize an Estes Alpha nose cone and BT-50 body tube.
It is designed to fly on a 24mm motor, but I also built an adapter to allow for 18mm motors.
Stability calculated using Open Rocket software and verified via a swing test.
