Hey yall,
Last night I threw together a little Estes star trooper I love 13mm minimum diameter. Built it stock but with a Kevlar shock cord. As soon as I popped in a motor I could tell the CG was going to be questionable. So I string tested it and it flew stable but backwards. Im thinking nose weight but then I read that its ok for small rockets to string test flying backwards. Makes me think CG is behind CP and I could have a problem...
