 Star Wars T-Wing Fighter

Another rocket inspired by a photo from the internet.


I've searched the internet and it appears that this is not in reality a T-Wing? The R-60 T-Wing appears similar to the X-Wing (Fuselage) but with (3) wings. A photo is shown below:
 
 
 
The Star Wars Fandom site explains it here... R-60 T-Wing Interceptor
And the Gizmodo site seems to back that up.... Star Wars Wings, Ranked
Regardless... I like the design of the R-60... I'll put it on the build pile.​

 
 Back to the Design

The rocket design uses a C-204 for the center body tube, BT/C-80H for the fin tubes and use 3/4" pine ahead of the CG and 1/4" plywood and 1/8" Basswood behind the CG. It features a 29mm motor and a rear eject spool / parachute.​
