OK all of you OR and RS gurus, how do you, or can you, do flat sided rockets like this one? I'm pretty sure it's got a tube core. Then what?
I am not seeing the "flat sided" part. To me it looks like about a 3" 6+:1 conical nosecone with a reverse transition and three TTW fins.
I've found a few other pics, some larger. It's 3 sided, triangular cross section, and VERY flat on each side above and below the mid line. Apparently he upsized it, too.
Maybe try this? I haven't really made the body flat, but it's the closest approximation that I could get.

Cool, seems like something to start with, conceptually.
Another crazy question: How does one get it to ride the rail properly?

It is a pyramid rocket with a pyramid boat tail and fins. If you can sim a pyramid rocket you can sim this rocket.
You can simulate the rocket by substituting an equivalent cone. n sides x base width = perimeter = pi x D so D = n sides x base width / pi is the equivalent cone base diameter.
