Hey Gang,
Just a stupid and probably obvious question for more experienced Rocketeers, but where is the CP measured from in Open Rocket? I presumed that it was from the nosecone, but I'm building an Estes Astron Sprint XL, and the sim file that I found had a nosecone a bit too long, so I adjusted the length shorter in OR and now it puts the CP at 15.67 inches back...The measurement doesn't come close to the diagram on the build window underneath...Is the CP measured from the tip of the component?
Maybe I need to find a more accurate sim file, just trying to learn how to use the software on my own.
Thanks for any information or suggestions!
