Rick,
Will take you up on that. Unfortunately I'm slammed at my day job right now and we're still designing and fabricated our rocket. We'll touch base in the near future about what kind of deliverables/inputs you need for RockSim.

Subject: [AR] dynamic stability

I am starting the process for getting a class 3 waiver for a rocket
launch. Most of the FAA required documentation looks straight forward.
One piece of information they require is "The dynamic stability
characteristics for the entire flight profile." A static stability
analysis is straight-forward, but I have never done a dynamic stability
analysis.

How have folks on this list addressed this requirement? Is this software
driven analysis or just hand-calculations? Does anyone have an analysis
they could share? If software analysis is the norm, can anyone point me
to affordable software?
