If it were me - I would see this as an opportunity to build two rockets. One with perfect centering rings, and one as shown in your photo. Using the scientific method, you could fly them both and find out what really happens.
Redone.
I was more patient second time around and the result looked more professional.
I've always had to do everything TWICE in my life, professional promotions, educational degrees, marriage... and rocketry. It just frustrates the hell out of me to do something a second time when all I really have to do is take my time and double check my work.
When I make custom centering rings for anything up to a black powder Es, now Fs, usually because I'm out of the needed centering ring size in my stock of the excellent lite ply ones made by Balsa Machining Works, I use a circle cutter:My scratch built "E" motor mount is off center by 5mm.
How will this affect the flight of the rocket?
I have not mounted it in the body tube yet. Should I do it over?
Thanks for the help.
When I make custom centering rings ....[snip].... I use a circle cutter to cut "cold pressed illustration board" I buy at Hobby Lobby.
