Smilies Legend
[i]This impressive-looking 1:1 scale replica of a V2 was created by the "rocket junkies" at the [URL=http://www.worldrecordrocket.com/]Rocketry Victoria[/URL] club. The team has been building up to this launch, first flying a 1:10 scale V2, then a 1:4, each time experimenting with lightweight body construction and other innovations. For the 1:1 vehicle, they settled on a radical aluminum frame skinned in shaped foam panels. This is the first time this construction technique has been used on a large scale rocket and the group hopes the lightweight, but sturdy design will launch their baby into the record books. The rocket will be powered by a single Cesaroni O motor with 25,000 Newtons of thrust (similar to a Sidewinder missile).[/i]
