Downscaling The Centuri Hornet to a Card Stock Model Part 3



After studying old Centuri instructions and taking measurements from online resources a side view drawing was assembled. The Semroc nose cone profile was traced and added.

My first calculations for the downscale BT-20 model gave me an overall height of 10.72 with the nose cone in place and the rear engine mount extension off.

This finished drawing came out to 10.716" tall.
Close enough for me!
Sure, the body tube could be lengthened by 0.004". 

There's still more work to come!
