I was (attempting) to sim my Aura using this calculator on emrr. (My rocksim trial ran out, as did my spacecad, I can't get open rocket to work, and I havent got the money to buy any software :blush.
The Aura weighs 7 and 7/8 ounces (225 grams), and the body tube is Bt-1.52 (1.635 inch outside diameter). If I leave the drag coefficient as 0.75, it sims to 3044 feet on a G64. However, if i raise or lower the drag coefficient, the altitude changes dramatically. Can anyone suggest a reasonable value for the Aura :confused2: ?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
