Are there any techniques to reduce the weathercocking tendencies on a given rocket ? I know this is kind of a general question and I'm sure the answers would be different for different models. I'm thinking you have two main areas to look at: modifying fin area or modifying weight distribution within a safe stabililty range. Maybe higher acceleration off the pad also ?
My Big Daddy seems to like to find the wind on D12's. I'm thinking the effect with E9's would be worse because of the lower max accel. IIRC back in the day it seemed like my Big Bertha could fly straight up thru a category 5 !
Thanks
