Default Spear Tip -- Update

I am pleased to announce that this model has been built and flown successfully on both A3-4T and A10-3T motors by Geoffrey Kerbel. His observed flight performance was very close to what RockSim predicted it should be, between 400' and 460' on both motors.

Attached is a photo of his model, with a true conical NC instead of the Ogive of the original design.
