I made an ork file of a LOC Lil 'Diter that we've flown a bunch of times. After the shakedown on a G or small H, it has gone up on an I435 at least 5 times and the only damage has been on landing.
My friend was wanting to see what it would do on a J, so I made a simulation to see if we were getting into danger territory as far as speed goes. The sim says that it goes Mach on the I435 and we didn't do anything special when building it (i.e. no fiberglass, just 5-min epoxy and decent size fin fillets).
I not that the file is complaining about 'discontinuity in body tube diameter' so I'm wondering if I need to model it differently to get a more accurate result.
Any help is appreciated.
