The current User's Guide is very much a work in progress, any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you'd like to contribute something, just hit the 'Edit' tab at the top.

Below are resources that have been found useful in the analysis of model rockets. Many useful scientific aerodynamic articles and documents are available at the invaluable NASA Technical Resources Server (NTRS).

The more in-depth and technical thesis, where Barrowman presents methods for calculating the CP position of a rocket at both subsonic and supersonic velocities and its other aerodynamic properties. Available on NTRS.
Wind instability—What Barrowman left out, Robert Galejs.
An extension to the Barrowman method to account for body lift at large angles of attack.
