Sorry about the confusion with the RKT files. I'm still trying to learn some of the new features of the program...

I made a mistake by doing this after midnight, too. My brain says I should be in bed...

RockSim 8 B3 says 2181.6' this time, with a two-stage flight stability margin of 1.02, and a sustainer-stage post-booster-seperation flight margin of 2.05. My mistake was in attaching the nose weight to the booster (trying to show the sustainer in a single-stage mode without the added weight...) instead of directly to the NC. Problem with this is, in the simulation, the nose weight drops out at staging, which we know it doesn't do in reality...

And howdy, do I love those rendered images of the Cherokee Double-D! I was able to apply the decal wrap to them, with only a few minor glitches...
