Ok, so, I need some help with a new major project and I can’t get it. (Yet)

I can’t seen to figure out the measurements for how tall spaceXs boosters are that landed themselves

I can find every thing but that, and it’s really annoying me. I want to make a “supper detail Falcon Heavy Rocket” made by SpaceX. I’m sure most of us have heard of SpaceX, they launched the most powerful rocket ever made this year!

If any one here works for SpaceX (I highly doubt it) if you could get me the weight and height of the SpaceX side boosters from the falcon heavy. A size on grid fins would be nice too, pretty much every thing about the booster, even the diameter.

I bet no one can really help, but can you?

    The grid Fins are in X-configuration , which measure 4 feet by 5 feet, can roll, pitch, and yaw the 14-story stage autonomously in order to target a precision landing
    The computers will switch into sea ditching mode if the launch vehicle fails to function properly
    the Falcon Heavy is 230 feet tall (70 meters) and can lift nearly 141,000 lbs. (64 metric tons) of payload to low Earth orbit
    The falcon heavy is basically 3 falcon 9 the middle one is the core while the other two are modified to be used as a boosters
    The estimated size of the boosters is 50 to 60 meters
    Diameter of the boosters are the same as a the falcon 9 (3.7 m)
    Sorry if this reply is late
    Aslo I think you already finished the falcon heavy by time I wrote this

    I promise they won’t. Just say something like this. @ACEPILOT109


    “Hi! My name is [insert your IRL name here] and I play a game called SimplePlanes where you build vehicles and interact with them. I am currently building a Falcon Heavy rocket and I am struggling to find the height dimensions for the reusable boosters. Could you please tell me the size of them? Thanks! -[your irl name]”


    If they don’t reply in a week just message them again.
    Hold on I’m just gonna find the spaceX contact thingy
