Launchable model rocket, based on the AIM-9 sidewinder AAM.
Fits Estes 18mm rocket motors (A,B,C).

Launched with B6-4, looked like about 200-250ft.

OpenRocket shows +600ft with a C6, but the stability margin goes down with the heavier motor. Looks like only about 60ft on an A8.
Used streamers instead of a parachute on maiden launch, came in a bit hot and broke a fin. Might be a good idea to use a chute on this one.

Due to the upper fins, it's a bit unstable, hence the 100% infill in the nose and nosecone connector.

DO NOT CHANGE INFILL. 100% INFILL REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN CP/CG AND FLIGHT STABILITY
