Missile Toe v2.0 - flying tree ornament

prusaprinters

<p>THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS - I will be updating this (just did).</p> <p>In the V2 version I've lengthened the shoulder to the nosecone and rocket body for a more secure fit. I also made it so elements can be separated to do two color prints if you like.</p> <h3> I STILL HAVE NOT FLOWN THIS YET (but it should prove to be a fun flyer)</h3> <p>What's that flying beneath the Christmas tree? Why a missile toe of course! Tis the season.</p> <p>This is designed to fly on an Estes A10-3 - I've not test flown it but it should have the needed kick.</p> <p>Besides the obvious motors, you will need about 2" of 13mm tube (BT-5), a parachute or a streamer and a short length of 1/8" launch lug.</p> <p>For now the instructions are<br/> 1) Know something about model rocketry<br/> 2) Glue the motor block into the end of the BT-5 - you want the motor to be able to stick out about 1/2" or so.<br/> 3) Glue the BT-5 into the opening for it on the rocket,<br/> 4) Push the 1/8th launch lug into the square mount, there shouldn't be a need to glue it<br/> 5) Add a recovery system (chute / streamer / shock cord) and attach it to the motor block and the small hole inside the nose cap.<br/> 6) If needed add weight to the nose cone so that the rocket balances about 1" above the fins<br/> 7) Fly it, and god speed to the missile toe!</p> Category: Decor
