Thanks!@RocketDoc I've done one. Here it is. It's proven to be fairly accurate with actual flight data. Pay attention to what's in the payload section and adjust to suit your own use. But this one isn't hard to do if you have the kit in hand and can weigh/measure parts, as @neil_w noted.
@K'Tesh Jim, what scans do you need?
OK, can do. Have another kit open right now as my second Green Eggs flyer (the one that furnished the data for the sim) is pretty battered.
Don't worry about the shock cord... the part number, and your measurement matches the Olympus' that I've already simmed up. I'm converting the Olympus sim into the Green Eggs (why re-invent the wheel?).OK, can do.

I will double-check the shock cord info, but what's in the .ork looks plausible.
@RocketDoc note that there is also a baffle in my simulation that is not part of the Estes kit. You'll either need to take it out or, better, contact David Qualman at qualmanrocketry.com and buy one.
I started to set up to do the scan but looked on the computer first and found I've already done them — twice. Once earlier this year and once about four years ago. Both attached.Don't worry about the shock cord... the part number, and your measurement matches the Olympus' that I've already simmed up.

I'd like to confirm the thickness of the balsa... The Olympus' was 3/32 in thick.
1.032 in. OD, 0.023 in wall thickness.The sim is mostly done... I need to know the OD and thickness of the Black engine hook retaining ring (PN 0394880) to finish it up.

Thanks!1.032 in. OD, 0.023 in wall thickness.
This ring is used in a number of Estes 24mm powered kits I think (Vagabond, QCC Explorer, Solar Warrior come to mind as possibles). I'm kind of surprised you didn't already have it.
Thank you. Great job.
