Planning on launching my Level 3 rocket on Saturday. It's about 16 feet long, 47 pounds. I have the rail buttons located in the centering rings at the top and bottom of the motor mount approximately 30 inches apart. I'm using buttons for the 1010 rails.
The more I look at it, I'm wondering if I shouldn't have a third button up higher. It's to late to hard mount one, but I could fairly easily glue one on with the screw epoxied into the body tube.
What's the thoughts here on whether the two buttons 2.5ft apart (and very securely mounted) are adequate for this tall of a stack?
