Hey, all. I've been a lurking-only member of this forum for almost a year now, mostly to get the latest news on AA's work. A few months ago I got inspired to build a flying model of the rocket on AA's logo.
I call it Widget's Ride: ![]() Just under 31" long, weighing 3.6 lbs with two 29mm motor mount tubes. Now I'm interested in building a flying model of Scorpius and was hoping one of the AA guys here could help me out with some plans. I'm looking at around 1/3 to 1/2 scale. I'd like to get more than just photographs so I can get the details right. Any chance of getting this? Please |

Based on the average size of an armadillo, I'd say it's about 1/2 scale If I can talk someone from AA into giving me some dimensions, I hope to use the same techniques to build a large scale model of Scorpius. I'd prefer the version with the aerodynamic shell on the nose. |
