Scaling
Calculator |
| FlisKits prides itself on helping the rocketeer
to become self sufficient. Recognizing that one of the joys of Micromaxx® is to downscale many of your favorite rocket kits, FlisKits has put together
a "Scaling Calculator" to help you in your scratch building effort! If you
know the length of the body tube that you want to down scale to a common Micromaxx®
tube, you can do so in seconds with this calculator. The short section below
explains how you read the chart then the chart provides you with all of the information
you will need to scale down BT-5, 20, 50, 55, 60, 70, 80, & 101 tubes to standard
BT-2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, & 20 tubes for your downscale designs. If you notice any
problems with this chart or have other tubes you would like to see represented, be sure to
send us an email and make your
request! Keep watch over these pages for exciting additions and promotions! |

the ratio need to scale it to the tube in that column (example, to scale a BT-5 to a BT-2
you would multiply all measurements by 0.455) |
