First and foremost, congratulations on successful flights.Correction: That last flight was actually a B6-2 centre with 4x A10-0T.
I had an altimeter (JLA2) in both the first (C6-3+2xA10) and last (B6-2+4xA10) flights. These gave altitudes of 58m and 78m respectively.
Can you provide a reference to these equations. Just because I"m curious.According to the C/F-M equations...
Where are you? The Klima engines are not available here in the US, much as many of us wish they were.I am now wondering about launching this model on a Klima D9-3.
I'm with you there; I would not do that.There is also the possibility to put three extra boosters into the tube fins, but I feel like this is asking for trouble as they do not point to the CG and are a long way out from the main axis, so I think this one is not on the menu...
Another nice one. I love the look of five fins. (So why don't I make some of them?) I think that step in diameter will increase your drag, not decrease it as a boat tail does. But you're not building for competition, and it seems you're building what you like, so who cares? Since you've got the 24 mm motor mount, I think you'll like how this goes on a D12.Moving on to the second rocket in this thread...
Good, expanding your experience, I like it.I also made a payload bay as an extension to the main rocket.
How would you deploy that payload's recovery device (parachute, I assume)?The idea is that when the payload section was used, the whole front section including the NC (friction fitted tightly) would separate, possibly with a different recovery to avoid the two halves crashing into each other from shock cord twang.

Oh, no no, it's definitely supposed to be fun.Slightly against my expectation I have actually found OR to be quite fun to use... hopefully that doesn't mean I am doing it all wrong!
I'm touched. You're welcome. Great job!Thanks to everyone who has chipped in, and especially @jqavins for advice, ideas and encouragement which have really helped a lot.
