ModRoc 1.0.1                 	                                       	
Blast off! This program helps you design safe, stable model rockets. Designing a rocket is as easy as choosing parts from a catalog and telling the program where they go. As parts are added, the program continuously displays up-to-date information on center of gravity, center of pressure and stability margins so you can instantly see how the rocket is shaping up. It removes much of the tedious and error prone calculations of the stability factors.
