I was curious to see what the optimal mass for a rocket with following givens:
Airframe OD: 2.60"
Cd: 0.7
Motor: AT RMS G64
Using a spreadsheet, and tweaking the weight until I got the highest value, the calculation came to 430 grams (15.17 oz) for the launch weight with an altitude of 535.9 meters (1,758 ft).
I have two questions:

I have two questions:
- Does this sound about right?
- Is this the easiest way to calculate such things (does OR do this?)
