Hey all!
I know this topic has probably been beat to death and has been pulled up and then re-buried over and over again. I'm hoping to get some info from current or recent builders...
According to openrocket and a lot of math to back up OR's findings, in order to get 1+ cal for CP/CG with a Aero J460, I need to add 1100g+ of weight to the nose when using the removable avx bay, and can only get to .833cal if I want to use a J800t. I (originally) wanted to eventually fly this on a K (I know, right?), but can only get to .743cal with that weight (at 1200g cal is still only .874). I've attached the OR file and the particulars below; ANY help advice or confirmation will be appreciated!
Kit config (no AVX)
4" dia, 53mm mount, dry weight before adding to the n/c is 1483g
Kit config (avx bay)
4" dia, 53mm mount, dry weight before adding to the n/c is 1848g
Thanks in advance!!
