stability is overrated
I have been wondering about the length of motors vs the length of the motor tube,e question being can you fly a motor that it shorter than the tube in it? e.g. Estes 24mm motors have 2 sizes, the D12 being 7cm long and the E12 being 95mm long. If I had a motor mount with 96mm between the engine hook and the thrust ring, could I only fly the E12s in it, or could I fly the D12s in it as well. Could there be some sort of adapter tube that is put at the end of the D12 between it and the thrust ring? Keep in mind that I'm just using these motors as an example, and am not asking specifically about these ones for your answers. I'm just asking about motors in general.
Edited because I was incorrect about the sizes of the motors and so I changed that.
