First Rocket Design

Many of you know that I like to build and design spacecraft and satellite paper models. I have several more that I have designed and I will release them soon.

While at the NASA website, I was reading articles on sounding rockets and
what they are used for. I like the way these rockets look and I thought that
one of these would become my first rocket design.

I choose the Terrier-Improved Malemute suborbital sounding rocket which was
launched on March 1, 2016 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility.

There are several more sounding rocket variations and I plan one designing some more.

The biggest problem for me if the conics. If any of you have some good-easy to understand info on making conics for rockets, please let me know.

The first picture is the actual Terrier-Improved Malemute suborbital sounding rocket at launch, the others is the finished design work.
It's not 100% perfect, but I think it looks OK.

What you do think?

I plan on releasing this soon, now working on instructions.
