How many pounds of noseweight.......Last night I was looking for inspiration of my next rocket build... I came across a somewhat odd-ball RIM-50 Typhon LR - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-50_Typhon
Looks a bit like a Nike Hercules. I like the idea of doing something others have not done but I think that Nike Hercules is probably cooler looking (although I do like the ramjet nose on that sustainer and those antennas are pretty cool).

I did a quick mock-up in OR and it looks like it can be made stable (although sustainer needs a fair amount of nose weight to make it stable).

How many pounds of noseweight.......
With all that forward fin area its going to take a lot.85g (but that is just a mocked up simplified model, not 3D printed or with all the various fin components on the sustainer).
So, about 0.18785g (but that is just a mocked up simplified model, not 3D printed or with all the various fin components on the sustainer).How many pounds of noseweight.......
