Flight Description:

Q-Jet D16-6. I'm pretty sure the model didn't actually slow down that much at motor burnout.....so why the negative slope stuff in the velocity graph? Added much later: I now know this is from pressure leakage around the motor at the base of the rocket lowering the pressure in the body below ambient during boost, followed by pressure recovery at burnout.
