I just downloaded it to my desktop and will play with it when I am done with my work; I'm so back up today.
THANKS A LOT FOR THAT THOUGH!!! I love Architectural-like programs.
It looks like this will be my next rocket. And yes, "low and slow" is my thing, as you put into better words. Can you possibly link me the correct page to place an order?
[OFF-TOPIC] How do I find local rocket clubs :confused2: ???
Thanks for ALL your help.

You will like Rocksim, it is a great tool.
Now, the trick to low and slow is flying a tube fin or a large diameter airframe on a quick burn motor. The rocket has to reach minimum safe velocity (~30 mph) before it leaves the launch rod to attain stable flight. STubby and larger airframe 2.5" to 4" rockets can be flown on 24mm motors both AP and BP. I have a 4.5" crayon that is about 13" long that does a great low and slow on a D-21 or E-18. This year I am bringing a light weight 2.6" diameter prototype called "Lemonade" to NSL. It is 36" long, weighs less than nine ounces and give eerily stable flights on a D-12.
If you have specific questions, don't be afraid to ask, the forum is stuffed with great folks that can share a wealth of knowledge.
