1/2 Scale AQM-37A Jayhawk

[Tractionengines]

Jayhawk is tough to sim on open rocket - varied from 2000 to 6000 feet depending on how you moved the wings around and the boattail..

Talk about a way to accidentally break a waiver... wow... [ Note to self, if flying a Jayhawk, start with small motors and adjust CD to get SIM to correct altitude, THEN go big...]

waiver was 8000' -- and I knew that opensim was wrong on it --- add a boat tail and broad wings to any diagram watch what happens to CG/CP and altitude

A long walk but a good recovery
