Hello everyone,

I always use open rocket when I design a new rocket.
Normally my rocket's have a stability of 2,3/2,4 but actually I don't know when a rocket has a good stability.
Maybe someone can tell me when a rocket has a good stability (by 2/3 or 4 ?????/)
 
You are aiming for a stability of about 1 caliber (1 body tube diameter between CG and CP). Post your Openrocket file and we can tell you if it is stable or not. :)
 
Looks like it should be Okay, and doesn't appear to be too overstable. Its not really a complicated design, looks nice though. Judging by my experience this should fly nicely as long as all the motors light.
