I've been simming the Centuri Magnum D Hornet, and the Estes Goblin (K-55), and I've noticed something... According to the flight simulations, these are falling at 52fps+. Now, I'm not certain of the material that the Hornet used (but I know it's 90" long. I do know the width/material of the Goblin, but not the length (to 100% certainty).

So, just how accurate is OR when it comes to calculating streamer's descents?

Thanks!
Jim
 
I get descent figures that seem ridiculous too when I sim Streamers in OR. I just disregard it.
