FlisKits Space Raider Build, Finished

After all was glued up, the entire model got a few good shots of Krylon UV Acrylic Clear. Home printed card stock ink can run if it gets wet.

A tip of the hat to Jim Flis for drawing it up and making it available.

This was a nice change from typical three fin nose cone models!

The shroud sides tend to dip a little in at the flat centers, nothing to worry about. The finished model seems very strong for a 110 lb. cardstock body. It's got a wider fin span than you would think.

I didn't cut the launch lug off at an angle to match the body side.

I have launched the Space Raider once with a Estes B6-4 motor.

It was very stable flight with a full deploy of the small parachute. 
This could also be a good model for the nearby soccer field launches. 

High drag? Sure, but it's so cool, who cares!
