Need technical drawings

Just out of curiosity, which particular vehicle are you looking for?

There were some really nice drawings of the Vostok vehicle in the May/June 2001 Sport Rocketry. NAR may have some back issues available, or a club member might be willing to part with a copy, provided you leave a kidney as collateral. ;O)

My copy is from the Phoenix public library system. I know teenagers can't be seen in a 'library', but they might have an online catalog and you could have mom pick it up? ;)

How about second best thing, search the web. Yahoo, 'Russian r-7 drawing'.

513 hits. 2-3 seconds. Wanna know what the very first hit has?.....

I wouldn't be razzin ya so much if it was a bit tougher to find like determining where the SA-2 booster separates. Luckily I couldn't sleep one night and found it round 3am.

No thanks are necessary, but you must post a photo when it's completed. :)

This guy was peddling a set of drawings awhile back. Dunno if he still does, or not. I did get a look at a few shots of the drawings, and they appear to be pretty decent...

FWIW...

I'll have you know that the FIRST place I looked was the public library, and that they know me by name there! (although I do live in a somewhat small town) But my library doesn't have much in the area of rockets and rocketry related materials so I just posted here to see what I could get.

Dude chill, I was just joshing :)

Fortunately Pete Alway put those particular drawing on the Saturn Press web site...

Sorry, didn't mean to seem like I was freaking out, I was merely pointing out that just because I'm a teenager that doesn't mean I'm a complete stranger to the library. Randy D Co-Prez, SoJARS

Please do.

Randy, which R-7 are you going to tackle?

I'm not exactly sure which one I'll go with just yet. The booster itself is pretty much the exact same thing on each different type of R-7, it's just a matter of a different nosecone.
