Awesome. Thanks for posting that Centuri detail Dave.

I have both a two stage and a three stage design saved in RockSim with available parts in my bins so this information will be helpful. I have in mind an Estes E16-0 for the booster but I will need to sim both versions off of a 72” rod or rail to see if three stages will work. I will post about it to a new build thread (when I start again on this LT-125 based rocket project).
