I have limited experience with mid power rockets so im hoping someone with experience in pad speed/altitude calculations can help me out before I ruin a brand new model!!
I have a 29/38mm ASP Wac Corporal that I wanted to maiden tomorrow at the Bucccaneer Blast here in fla.
We are supposed to have 10-15mph winds all day!
I purchased a pack of F27-4R and F42-4T single use Econojet motors thinking that they would be enough to get my 29 ounce Wac high enough for a safe chute landing, but not so high that I could lose the rocket because of the winds, but after looking more into the data on these motors, im not sure if they are enough to do the job!
If either of these motors is not enough, the only other choice I have is a G77-7/RL which Im not comfortable with as it may send the model up too high.!
I guess I need to learn to use Rocsim for this kind of information but at this moment, if anyone can crunch the numbers to let me know one way or another, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!
MANY THANKS!! Bill
OH! The model weighs 29 oz EMPTY.....no engine, no wadding!
