I bought Rocksim a couple of weeks ago and design this rocket. I wanted a mini engine rocket that would have good performance and good size. It seems like most mini-engine rockets are magic trick rockets, ie. push the button, a puff of smoke, and then it's gone!
Rocksim said 450', and that seems about right. The only rocket I've ever had fly as straight up as this one did in a breeze is my Zooch Jupiter C. Viva la Rocksim!
I flew it twice and discovered when loading for #3 that a fin was missing. It was the first time I've used a semroc tube, and they must be slicker than estes tubes. The fin came off clean withought tearing the tube and some of the paint came off when I removed the masking tape.
Oh, I've given it the imaginitive name "Design 1".
