I have flown many rockets after doing simulations and have become fairly confident in the results and adjusting accordingly, BUT last weekend at SB3, I had something happen that is just weird.
I flew a mini darkstar on a I204 and a H255. I simmed both and was seeing around 8000 feet with both simulators(one just gets there faster than the other). The I204 was predicted to fly higher.
The actuals were...
I204 - 4700 ft.
H255 - 6,428ft.
It just goes to prove that no matter how well of a grip you think you have on this hobby, something comes along and proves that you don't know everything.
