Team Gardei plans to launch a LOC 5.38 V2 (built by Ryan S.) with a AMW J500 (Provided by n3tjm) at the July 19th CMASS rocket launch. Without the motor, the CG is right in the middle. When loaded with a J500, it shifts about 5" forward of where the tail cone begins. I tried loading the specs of the V2 in Rocksim, but I don't trust the results... Rocksim shows the CG located in the TIP of the nosecone. According to Ryan, the V2 weighs approx 7lbs, 3lb is the nose cone. What do you thing guys... do you think Ryan's V2 will be stable with this 180 lb thurst motor? Can someone sim the CG/CP relations for me?
