With this varying diameter body, Open Rocket uses the max diameter to calculate stability.
From the real world, could the average diameter be used to calculate stability?
I'd love it if the rocket would be stable getting the 1 Cal from the average diameter, as it takes quite a bit of nose weight to get it to 1 Cal using the max diameter.
The outer shell is too fragile to support a string for a swing test.
The rocket has flown at Cal using max diameter, but it sure is heavy.
Thanks for thoughts,
