I have a proto body tube (aka a poster tube from Staples) that has very prominent spirals. It's just crying out for canted fins to make it spin. Unfortunately, the spirals are at about a 30-degree angle from the length of the tube, and that seems like an awful lot for canted fins. Is there a practical maximum cant angle? Does OpenRocket deal with canted fins well? I'm obviously not going for maximum altitude, just for safe prediction of stability and a reasonable estimate for a delay. Oh, and if I can make the nose cone with a matching spiral, I'm totally doing it.
Thanks in advance!
