Default Estes Cherokee-E, 2408, Hobby Lobby Exclusive & Magician 2440

Attached is the RockSim flight simulation file I created for the Estes Cherokee-E, EST 2408, Hobby Lobby Exclusive. This file does not contain pods so it can be opened with Open Rocket software. I wonder why this design did not come out as a payload model; which would provide a even better stability margin especially if someone wanted to use larger 24mm composite motors? This would be an easy conversion; switch the main and lower body tubes and add a BT55 bulkhead and screw eye to the bottom of the red tube coupler. I also would suggest using a 24mm motor retainer (Estes part number 009751) instead of the Engine hook.
