Here it is, if anyone wants to try it or check my math. I'm sure this could be simplified with a bit of work. Maybe even solved explicitly for Vo?

Code:
h=log(1-Vo^2*K/g)/(2*K)-log(sec(sqrt(-g)*sqrt(K)*((%e^(d*K)-1)/(cos(theta)*Vo*K)-atan((Vo*sqrt(K))/sqrt(-g))/(sqrt(-g)*sqrt(K)))))/K;
See attached PDF for derivation.
