Paper models!!!! Now, I know that technically almost all model rockets are made (at least partly) of paper. However, several years ago while roaming the ol' interwebs, I stumbled across the world of paper models.
Paper models were not unknown to me. After all, I had the Gulf Oil LEM model as a kid (and have a framed, unused copy in my office now). But now you can download these models and print them out yourself...usually for free!
How do they look? Well, here is a V2 that I printed out and put together a few years ago. I didn't do a great job on it, but it still looks pretty good:
Also, I'm sure you could convert these to fly pretty easily.
If you would like to look at a few that are offered, you can start here http://jleslie48.com/gallery_models_real.html
Until next time, fly 'em fast and high!
