I dont know why,but it hit me again. I had a thought. Been alot of talk about balancing rockets here lately --cp,cg,nose weight and such. So whats the deal when you drop a stage that weighs,say, between the motor,tube and fins ,8-14 gs off the back of a rocket. That sure throws the CG off . Does it keep stable because of the speed its going at the time it stages???????????And if you scratch a staged rocket how would one (that doesnt have SIM) go about balancing it. Do you do with it all together or just the rocket without the stages. I wonder about this stuff ,ya know!
