So I have built a standard sized Estes Interceptor and have launched in actual launches with C6-3’s successfully. But I am only getting a little over 500’. My Interceptor weighs in at 4.36 oz. So it is on the heavy side.
But I wanted to get more altitude and was considering Aerotech/Quest Q-jet 18mm D16’s. But when I load my heavy weight and the C6-3 engine into Rocksim, the flight/launch simulation shows the rocket doing a 360 then straightening out for what it seems a safe flight that only reaches about 400 feet. I have done the simulation several times with the same result (more out of curiosity than anything).
Any clue as to what is happening? Should I even attempt a real flight?
