New Scratch rocket built with FreeCad

sjh1 · Oct 25, 2017

I got tired of the limitations in openrocket and the expense (and limitations) of Rocsim so I am trying out FreeCad. Here is my 1st attempt. What do you think of my DV3.

Ought to be a lovely slow flyer. Put a smokey in there and let 'er rip!

Very Cool for a first try. Is FreeCad available on line or is there some special place to get it?

Nice! It can be simmed with OR (15.03dev), but it'd take some difficulty, and you might not (yet) get flight performance.

The problem I always had with with OR is offset fins(t-tail) or fin tip pods. There is a few tricks, but its just that tricks. It is not straight forward.
