My RW X-Celerator came with a lightweight, plastic, glassed nose cone. With it, my stability was exactly one cal. However, due to a shock cord mishap, I destroyed it. I replaced it with a FW FG nose cone with aluminum tip. It looks great, and is much more durable.
However, in so doing, I obviously increased the weight at the front end significantly. Now the stability is about 2.5 to 3 cal.
My two flights with the original NC were straight up and awesome. My one flight with the FG NC weathercocked hard and only achieved about half of its expected altitude.
Any ideas on how to bring the CG aft a little bit? I know this is the exact opposite of most people's problem!
Thanks.
