This is a placeholder page for a future project, to build a 1.6" diameter upscaled Torellian Invader out of an Estes Super Neon XL kit.

  • The nose cone and canopy will need to be 3D-printed, but I can re-use those designs when I do a bigger upscale.
  • Thinking about papering the fins (see here and here).

TODOS:

  • Measure Super Neon XL parts
  • Measure Torellian Invader parts, including all fin shapes
  • Design & print templates for 1.6 upscale fins
  • Cut fins from plywood
  • Design nose cone in OpenSCAD
  • Design canopy (also in OpenSCAD? or do this in Fusion 360?)
