Craig,
No biggie. It seems like I've finally been freed up to actually do some rocket building lately, so I have no problem with "taking up the slack" for a change!

I've got some sketches that I need to run sims on, but anything you guys can add to cross the finish line would be great!

My creative "obsessive compulsions" seem to be doing ST-7 to ST-10 based 137% upscales of some classic Centuri designs. So far the "hit list" includes the Micron, Vector-V, Sky Devil, and (just last night!) the official Cub Scout rocket Akela-1. (Vector-V fins on a Sky Devil nose cone and body tube configuration. How's that for a rocketry epiphany?  )
So here's my question: Should these modern-day updates (and upscales) count as new designs? (This is mostly rhetorical, but I'd like to get some objective input on my thinking here.)
Thanks, and cheers, as always,
