The Flying Deer Vertebra... 

A Scratch Built - Odd-Roc - Sci-Fi Rocket

We did a hike yesterday and found a Mule Deer Vertebra.. and of course I thought.. hmm... model rocket?

Knocked out a simulation and it is not stable... but with a ring fin, sure it's stable. Upscaled it a bit to a BT-80H. Uses an off-center mounted 29mm Motor and Rear Eject Spool and an 18" Parachute.

The trick will be forming the BT-80H into the ob-round shape, and getting the BT-50H Tube Fin to fit the BT-80H. Should be an interesting build.

The OR Sim is a bit crude, but should be somewhat accurate.
