The CP on the Cherokee E is 25.2 " from the front. The CG needs to be 23.03 or less from the front with motor. you may have to add nose weight as needed to bring the CG forward.
BAR here. I have almost finished my E. Added an Estes Screw on retainer. Figured out my fins are also Upside down. Decided I would do a swing test since I move the motor mount back. Upside down. Decided I would do a swing test since I move the motor mount back. CG Is approximately 26 inches from tip of nose cone. Swing test has the rocket swinging vertical as if sitting on the launch pad. Any suggestions as to whether this is OK or how to fix it?
