Loc's Marvin's Wild Ride

[Jeff Curtis]

I recently acquired the Loc Marvin's Wild Ride. It's a 4" rocket no longer in the Loc line up. The seller discovered it was missing the tail cone and refunded about half the cost. I took a chance that the 4" V2 tail would work. Ordered the V2 tail, and sure enough, the fin tabs fit perfectly. Stickershock has vinyl to finish it.

Does anyone have a Rocksim or Open Rocket file for this kit?

I can't find any myself, but there's a few older threads on here and some stuff on Rocketreviews.com that may help you.

I've read everything I can find but there is not a lot.

I love this kit and saw one for sale, and it brought your thread into thought.

I feel like for a simple rocket like that, creating your own ORK file would take less time than searching for an existing one, which might not be accurate and you'll have to redo it all anyway (never blindly trust a random ORK or RKT file found online).

Or take a 4" Loc V2 sim file and modify the fin shape, airframe length, and whatever else for a MWR sim.

Speaking only for OR: no tutorial needed. Just create a freeform fin set, click the “shape” tab, and have at it.

You can also import an image giving the fin shape black on white.
