This is my first scratch design and I'm trying to do it the right way in OpenRocket. However, there are things like the recovery materials that I really don't know if I'm doing correctly. For this design I put in a wad of dog barf (best as I could estimate it), and then the folded parachute right above it, and the shock cord kind of hear the top end of the parachute (really, where can I assume the shock cord will settle?)
Static margin is coming out between 1 and 2 calibers for the different engines, so I think I'm close, but I fear a GIGO situation. If someone could sanity check this and just confirm that I'm in the neighborhood I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

(BTW, is it just me or does OR crash All. The. Time.?)
