I drew up an Estes Humdinger (https://www.estesrockets.com/007225-humdingertm) as best I could in OpenRocket and ran the simulation for all the recommended motors. I get a max apogee of 434 ft. I also put the rocket into thrustcurve.org and got similar numbers (https://www.thrustcurve.org/motorguide.jsp?rocket=4482).
Estes says it can fly up to 1100 ft - which number should I believe? Split the difference maybe?
We just got the rocket so I haven't flown it yet, though will probably get it up this weekend.
cheers - mark
