Me too.
Just recieved my shipping notice today.Got notice mine shipped today!!!!
Really excited to start this build. Did anyone else get a tail cone retainer with it?
Total: 1751g
I put in actuals and they were definitely a little different for each component. It must suck to try to develop a new kit so I'm glad Madcow did all the hard work.Thanks! FYI OpenRocket reports "Discontinuity in body diameter." The fincan has a diameter of 3.13" while the NC is 3.147" and switch band is 3.135". With both set to 3.13" the K335NW sims to 11813' in OpenRocket at Mach 1.17.

Hey is the booster tube really 33” (per you RS file)? Madcow states it’s only 30” on website.
I fixed them because they are actuals. In RockSim you can't put in just actual mass. If you override the mass it also overrides the CG. I'm not sure about how that works in OpenRocket.Please forgive a potentially lame question. OpenRocket shows your components having fixed CGs (and masses). Did you fix the CGs intentionally, or is it a quirk of import?
Thank you for your effort and precision. It's nice to have a good file.
Just a couple of questions for my learning and thought process on this setup: You are trying to keep the rocket under 53 ounces (loaded mass) so you can launch as a class one rocket, right? What motors would you use? An H242 has 110g of propellant so that's just under the 125g max for class 1. But a loaded H242 in 38/240 case is 279g (just under 10oz). Just for fun, I changed the mass of the Avalanche to 40oz to simulate the BAR-None possible mass, then loaded the H242. A simulation goes to about 2500' and is off the pad at a safe 60 F/s. And I simulated a G339N-P which has 49g propellant and weighs 190g (6.67 oz) loaded in a 38/120 case, going to just under 1000' and 73 F/s off the pad. Not bad at all. But it's plugged so you'd have to use electronics. Personally, I can't launch anywhere near my house over a few hundred feet. I'm stuck at the parks with motors up to C, maybe D in a Big Daddy kind of rocket. I'm not pushing the limits of class 1 around here (Mountain View, CA) due to the small parks and many houses. But I'm hoping the launches at Moffett Field start up again because that final sim I mentioned seems perfect with the 1000' waiver.Yup, BRD is correct on the weight. I don't know how I converted 1700 grams to 41 Oz. Must be my old Mars Climate Orbiter software Thank you for providing the file!
Rockethound, the BAR-None is supposed to arrive end of this month, so I'll get it all weighed and measured (correctly) then. But thin-walled FG and a plastic nose-cone may allow for it to slide in under 53.

The 53Oz limitation is for our SARG launch site. It's great, but close to McClellan AFB, so no HP waiver and a 1500' AGL limit. So we're left with kits less than 53Oz total and less than H-motors. We all also launch/are members at LUNAR where we've got HP and a 15k waiver. So love to kits that I can fly on both. Goal for the Bar-None is a nice flyer on G80-4 or G76-4 at SARG and then some mid-I power+ for LUNAR.
