Oh come on folks.... 
I told him that the best place to see if anyone had done a RockSim of the US TOG was TRF...
Anybody???
He came to me first but we don't use RockSim here so I couldn't help him out...

Thanks again Jim, i may just have to take a stab at it myself once i am more familiar with the software. What are your thoughts on using any kind of composite motor in this rocket, even a 18mm with a mm adapter??

If someone wants to send me a kit, I'll make a Rocksim file for it....
More than likely, whatever is created will be an approximation, unless you want to do a lot of experimentation to adjust, Cd, etc to tweak it just right -- there are complex shapes there that will be very difficult to model exactly in RockSim.

You could possibly do a quick 'n dirty sim of it by approximating the general size and shape, especially of the fins, and getting the materials and weight right. It won't be precise, but it will be in the ballpark. I think you can put tubes on fins in RS9.

Yep, you can definitely do a "good enough" sim. You don't even really need to worry about the materials, if you override the weight and CG.
