Hey All,
I'm currently putting together my level 1 cert rocket which is a 4" Nike Smoke from Performance Rocketry. I need to find the CP for this rocket and while I do have a RockSim file that someone did for it, it's not an exact match of the way I built my kit.
I beefed up the centering rings and moved the rear ring flush with the end of the motor tube to accomodate a flanged Aeropack retainer... etc.
My question is, does anything other than the out side dimensions of the rocket affect CP? In other words, since I'm a little new to RockSim, I may not get the internals exactly right, but if the external dimensions are accurate, will the CP be the same?
Thanks,
Don
