Did anyone read my article on the simulation of Pop Pod Boost Gliders in the most recent issue (#116) of the "Peak-Of-Flight", the Apogee E-Zine newsletter?

Do you think I got it right? The article was inspired by one of the threads on this forum!

I have looked at the article and it looks good to me. I think you are doing a fantastic job with these efforts. What's next?

I read it. Looks good! Don't have Rocksim yet (soon, though) to play with the file, but it certainly looks like the right idea. Looking forward to Part 2.

Side pod simulation is next which includes a rework or update on tube and ring fins. The side pod article was also inspired by posts from this forum!

What do you think of this contortion of the program? Are these extesions of the capabilites of RockSim useful to anyone?
