Hi
Completely newbie in rocket hobby, but decade veteran in RC hobby.
Question, what prohibits to launch a rocket model from canister or even more aggressively a VLS unit in boat, I have seen rc boat model launch missile model vertically, but never in scale looking; and never see a TEL vehicle crawls to a spot and launch a rocker under remote control, two tech issue in my way:
1, I saw a long metal wire (usual 2 rocket length) to keep rocket straight during the liftoff stage, what the limit in shortening that wire, or other possible method to hold the rocket straight during liftoff.
The reason to have that wire, my speculation is: Rocket doesn't not have sufficient aerodynamic correction force to keep it stable in liftoff stage or the engine generates non-concentric thrust during the liftoff, but what else.
2, do we have to launch rocket vertically always? for safety reason? how about tilt certain degree like a katsyusha?
thx
