Hi all,
For the past 3 years I’ve been doing TARC with my high school and this is the only year where I’ve experienced this problem. Seems like my rocket has a slight corkscrew or wobble a little after it leaves the pad, only launched it 3 times as this was our first TARC launch of the year but it still bugs me as my team worked pretty hard on this design. Could it be that the rockets fins or motor mount are not aligned? It isn’t a huge problem, but still would like some input. I’ll attach a video and my OR file screenshot. Flew it before this and also noticed the wobbling as well, so I think I can rule out a wind gust.
I know the delay on this motor was short as well, still testing motors.
