I've been messing around with my online simulator. I've made some changes. In particular, the simulator figures out if you need an FAA waiver, an FAA notification, or nothing. I think it is pretty close, but may have some holes. I'm particularly interested in finding mistakes with rockets on the cusp of either being FAA notification only or FAA waiver material. It all comes down to propellant weights.
If someone has good knowledge of which motors fall just on either side of this line and can input rocket simulations that test these limits, I would appreciate any and all mistakes you can find. Maybe my simulator is excluding motors that should be OK for FAA notification only. Conversely, perhaps my simulator is including motors that should require an FAA waiver to fly.
Thanks and I'll owe anyone who can help me out.
