I have four flights on my 8.7 lb. Mongoose 75:
L995 to 15,216 ft.
L1115 to 18,773 ft.
L395 to 17,300 ft.
M840 to 28,905 ft.
The L395 was too slow out of the tower and laid over. Recovery was 3.5 miles downrange. All other flights were optimal.

Thanks.... either I'm blowing something in the sim or it's just not handling it right.... off by nearly 8 grand.
Did you release the parking brake :wink:

That's exactly what I'm doing with mine - leaving out the payload bay and just flying the booster section/nosecone. Easy. OR sims it to around 36K on one of my 7600 loads - as always, seems a little generous...I'd be happy if I get over 30K...If you're looking for more altitude out of a Mongoose "easy", shorten the overall length and decrease the root (not span) of the fins.

That Wildman Falcon references the M2245 numerous times; I have to wonder what it would hit.

Hey Dave, I noticed the rocksim files for the Mongoose 75 That I came across were for the earlier Proline version which used a 54" booster & 25" payoad. The RW version has a 48" booster & 24" payload. I had to make the adjustments on the file which I am also trying to build using Open Rocket. I have the CF Mongoose 75. Is yours CF or fibreglass? When you start to address motor retention let me know. I have one of those placing the retention bulkhead for largest motor possible vs leaving enough room for recovery harness & drogue questions.
