Sounding rocket paper models
Hello All,
I just came across “Zach’s PaperSat Designs” (see: http://zpdmodels.com/srockets.htm ), which has numerous downloadable paper models of satellites, spacecraft, and sounding rockets. Some (on the Ecardmodels website, linked to his) are for sale, but many others are free. The free sounding rocket models are: Nike Apache Nike Tomahawk Terrier Lynx First Skylark Skylark Raven Skylark Goldfinch Raven Pencil Pencil 300 Pencil (2 stage) Baby Kappa 9M WAC Corporal Nike Smoke Dauphin (Dolphin) Sounding Rocket Operational Falstaff Original Falstaff GIRD-9 GIRD-X HEROS 3 IRIS I hope this information will be helpful.

Zach's site has an incorrectly-identified Skylark model (the Black Brant I, II, and V motors [and the Black Brant IV's first stage motor] were/are "Canadianized" Skylark motors) and I sent him the following regarding it: "A while back I had posted a link to your excellent paper rocket models website on the “Ye Olde Rocket Forum” (see: http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showt...0167#post230167 ). Today I saw that another YORF member had posted a notice that you have added more sounding rocket paper models (they make the best flying scale model rocket subjects, being fin-stabilized like model rockets). Looking at your model of the two-stage Skylark (the finless Goldfinch II motor-boosted Raven XI motor, with three fins on the Raven XI ], see: http://zpdmodels.com/srockets.htm ), I saw that your model plan—and the included photograph—actually depict the three-stage Skylark 12, which had a Cuckoo IV third stage motor stacked above the Goldfinch II and Raven XI motors. (That is *no* reason to get rid of your model plan, though—both the three-stage Skylark 12 and its two-stage relative, the Skylark 7 [using Goldfinch II and Raven XI motors—the TEXUS program at Esrange flew many Skylark 7s] are wonderful scale model subjects!.) Also: "Here (see: http://www.google.com/search?source... 0.Ikwosmm74_M ) is general Skylark material; Jean-Jacques Serra’s European rockets history website contains detailed historical information on the various Skylark types (see: http://www.sat-net.com/serra/skylar_e.htm ), among many other sounding rockets. Here (see: http://wsn.spaceflight.esa.int/docs...dingRockets.pdf ) are photographs, drawings, and information on the TEXUS and MASER program Skylark 7 rockets, which were launched at Esrange (see: https://www.sscspace.com/ssc-worldw...e-space-center/ ) in Sweden until 2005. "I hope this information will he helpful."

Thanks for that link and reminding me of the site. I had been there before, but I didn't remember seeing the links to the full 1/48th scale Saturn V paper model. I've now managed to download the files, and am looking forward to giving it a try. Someday, I'd love to make a flyable 1/48th scale version. Yes, I know that there are other scales that are already out there, but 1/48th scale is my thing (****ed Aspergers).

The LJ II from that site is pretty nice also. My son built it after the BB II, but way before Estes re-released the current LJ II kit. It was very light weight but large and was great for tiny field demos of larger models. A B6-4 was perfect, IIRC. He built the tower from dowel rod, like the early Estes Mercury Redstone kit.
Ah...here's the old thread. http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...t=cardstock+joe

There is a build thread for this where the guy up-sized to 1/24 on papermodelrs.com website. Should help with your build, as the guy really did great photos and explained in detail issues while building. Just so you know, there are some design issues with the 1/48 from the link. They were corrected and available at papermodelers as well. Going there now to get the links talking about. 1/24 scale = http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/...al-version.html They talk about the design issue mentioned above. Link for updated 1/48 Saturn V = http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/...downloadid=2031 These changes are authorized by original designer. Not Sure if Lower Hudson has the updated version. The guy who did the re-design probably updated the ones at Lower Hudson too, just not sure. Mike |

I see that a Canadian group built and flew a nearly-full-scale, HPR model of the French Dauphin (Dolphin) sounding rocket (see: http://zpdmodels.com/models/Dauphin...ng%20Rocket.pdf ), as noted on the same PDF page containing the plans & patterns for their Dauphin paper model (the patterns and plans are right below the note and picture of the big Dauphin HPR scale model). The rockets listing, including the Dauphin as well as numerous other sounding rockets, is here: http://zpdmodels.com/srockets.htm (some new ones may have been added, too).
