James,
Was there anything specific about the design that you feel needs adjusting? I'm looking at it, and only found one item that I could simplify (main wing -- this could be done as a single line item), but nothing that I would immediately change. I like your treatment of the V-fin pod nose cone simulation. Seems very familiar to me... 
That D15 appears to be the optimum motor, with deployment within a foot of apogee, and below 10 FPS Dv. It reaches flight V in 20", so a 36" rod is all you need. The C11 takes every inch of that 36" rod... |
