Most all of those drawings are from Jim Ball's Scale Data website.
Some other stuff too.


https://web.archive.org/web/2006100...-data/scale.htm

Most of my XAIM-54 data is of the "A" model and not the "C" model shown in the drawings.
The "A" data has been published in the JMRC's newsletter Total Impulse Mar/Apr 2019.
It was even in one of the NAR's Member Guidebook editions.

This version has the later style nose cone.

Okay, instead of starting a new thread......

I bought a Mad Cow 4" Phoenix but there are no motor recommendations. I want to fly it on a H impulse. Anyone know which motors to use?

OK . . . A couple of questions.

(1) How much does it weigh ?

(2) What size ( diameter ) motor mount does it have ?

(3) Are you Certified Level 1 ?

Hey Dave -

Yep, your references answer all your questions except if I'm Level 1 certified.

1. 60 oz (not including motor)
2. 38mm
3. Yes

Since I don't have RockSim, I didn't think I could use the RockSim file on the website. But, low and behold, OpenRocket can use RockSim files. H45 with a 6 second delay is looking good.....

Thanks Dave

Whatever motor you choose, MAKE SURE of your CP and CG location . . . The AIM-54 PHOENIX has a LOT of Forward Fin Area and would not "take kindly" to a CG location error !

Be careful and have a great flight !
