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.

Overview

These are all of the components that you can expect to utilize when designing in OpenRocket, although individual components will be shaded until available for use with other compatible components.

Openrocket components.

Component Details -- OpenRocket 15.02

Component Classes

The components available in OpenRocket are divided into four classes based upon component function. These classes are assembly components, external components, internal components, and mass components (which include recovery components).

Assembly Components Class

The assembly class of components allows the user to create stages, boosters and pods.
