I have designed this project as an extension to the paper air rockets that were in MAKE Magazine Volume 15. I have designed a variety of tails and an activity to test what type of aerodynamics provide the best flight for these small inexpensive rockets.
I have a related nose cone project: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1729183
