Does anyone know? What is an acceptable descent rate for a 18 oz rocket with a streamer?
My daughter got a Yank Enterprises Wraith for Christmas. It's 37 inches long and 54mm in diameter. It uses a 29mm MMT and has a 20 ft nylon streamer. I entered all of the dimensions into Rocksim and it said that the descent rate at landing was about 67 ft/sec. That seems a bit too fast to me. I'm afraid that the rocket will be damaged if we let it fall that fast. Anyone out there fly streamers and can give me some insight?
