To use the design file above, you need a copy of OpenRocket, a rocket design and simulation program.

Designer: Estes

OpenRocket render July 2023, by Doug Szczepanski (aka Starfire73 on The Rocketry Forum). Please visit Starfire's OpenRocket Files blog to see the full collection of my files.

Notes: - Mass and CG have been overridden for actual measurements, for the entire rocket.

The nozzle assembly (only) has been overriden to ZERO CD. This should provide accuarte simulations as the nozzle is removed for flight; however, you may also chose to save a second copy of this .ork file, and REMOVE the entire nozzle assembly for flight simulations.

The main difference between 2016 and 7253 are where the launch lugs are place. Launch lug replacement makes much more sense on 7253, so that it avoids where decals are placed.
