Description:
I got the engines side by side following your example, but, I am mounting the 2 extra engines OUTSIDE the main BT20 tube (with it's engine) side by side with separate cones and recovery devices (sort of like the Space Shuttle) as my 1st stage.
2nd stage - 1 engine - 1 BT20
1st stage - 3 engines - 3 BT20s (center engine in-line with 2nd stage engine)
I ran the altitude prediction and got a good competition Payload and Egglofting altitude without the cones. This program is very good for trying new competition concepts, which I want, so I will eventually buy this program once I figure out all it's tricks! I could have used it before NARAMs 8, 9 and 10 !! |

Description:
I currently own a full version of SpaceCAD 3 and have enjoyed
it a lot. This is an experimental two-stage I designed which
has not been built, but will be flying in a few years time.
This rocket is experimental because it carries an onboard
camera which takes pictures by a remote control the size of
a mobile phone. It also has two E9 rocket engines, a parachute
and a few waddings all supplied by Estes. And after designing
this rocket with SpaceCAD, it said it was slated to go approximately
1050m flying at over 575,000 km/h off the surface. It's not
fast enough to break the sound barrier, but I am also designing
over rockets to do that.

This rocket was built with estes parts with an aerotech engine

out of fiberglass for the oringinal one wouldn't fit in the
limited space. The whole rocket only c osted
about $60 (including engine) so I feel I got my moneys worth.

Here is a
picture of the test rocket, designed in SpaceCAD, that flew
on the booster motor for the Elf Magic project.
This was a Sorbitol/KNO3 motor that is predicted to be a M-4500.
Yes...it's a sugar motor. My hand is about where the top of
the motor is. The motor is 75mm in diameter and 55.7 inches
long.
It has flown 3 times and recovered perfectly 3 times.
It will be my level-3 rocket. The part of the file that says
"foam" is the 2-part expanding polyurethane foam
used to hold the fins in and strengthen the booster air frame.

Description:
This was my very first go at rocketry, I call it the Plastic
Fantastic (PF), mainly because it is made using everyday house
hold materials. Nose= Polystyrene, Body tube= Plastic Pipe,
Fins/Motor Mount= Plywood, Parachute= Plastic bag!. It flys
like a bat out of hell on the Aerotech E-28 and will easily
reach 1500ft. If
you want something cheap and easy to build with good performance
then this is the rocket for you! |

Description:
The Rockit, was made of some left over parts from a Apogee Aspire
rocket, that cato:ed during thrustphase on a G80. (i.e it didnīt
hold up to the thrust and "exploded" into pieces. However we
found the nosecone and a small part of the bodytube. It laid
around in my apartment for a while, until I figured out if I
could make a rocket of the parts. And I could! =) So here it
is, the Rockit. It can fly on B-C motors, however you can try
it on a Aerotech 18mm E motor too.(reinforce the fins with epoxy).
Parachute came from Estes Fatboy, centering rings are made from
rolled paper, to make the motortube fit into the 29mm body.
The rocket flys great, and mine even rotated during flight,
making the fligt straight as an arrow!!. Some notes: The parachute
can be replaced by a streamer if you wish. Good luck building
and flying it!! |

 Rocket
designed for R.A.T.T Works hybrids. I have used a H70 but
the design will accomodate a I80 quite happily. Note: The
two tubes seperated by a coupler do not actually seperate,
the coupler is simply there because the Public Missiles phenolic
tube does not come in long enough lengths. Everything is a
representation of a real component you can buy except the
ejection system. The materials database did not come with
the correct material for the real nosecone so I just chose
a material and increased its thinkness until it was the correct
weight. You can buy the parts featured in this rocket from
here.
Parts used for this rocket:
Engine: $104.326 NZD // R.A.T.T Works H70 Hybrid
Propellant: $43.4139 NZD // R.A.T.T Works H70 (3pack)

I really like the Pro38 they zip off the pad in a hurry
plus it flew allot higher, around 3000' on that motor. I
know I had to walk a lot further to retrieve it.

Rocket Description:
Freedom
This is a rocket that i have built, and through perachute testing
i discovered that the original fin design was prone to breakage
in hard landings. It has been adjusted accordingly. This rockets
extremely low altitude of 660 feet on an E engine makes for
very realistic launches!
Missile
I call this a missile because of how high it goes! I wouldnt
trust the calculations of space cad to thie extent, but, if
they are correct, then expect out of sight flights that reach
apogee of more than 60,000 feet! (11.3 miles, wow).
Teacher Hunter
This is a rocket that I shot off once, but my teacher wouldn't
let me put in anything bigger than a B engine. It got off the
pad and flew horizontally towards him. Forutnately he got out
of the way. but now I know never to settle for anything less
than a C engine in it.
If you build one of these rockets, then tell me via email at
Kelmanrc@aol.com and let
me know how it flies, how fast it comes down, and of course
if your precious payload survives!
