I am prepping to launch my first mid power flight. The rocket is an Aerotech Arreaubee Hi. It will be single deploy, around 1100' altitude flight if I have used open rocket correctly. The question I need to ask is, do I need to secure the nose cone to the top section? I have epoxied a length of shock cord and tethered it in case it comes loose during recovery. What are the chances of it coming loose during powered flight or the coast to apogee?
I have never had one come loose on anything low powered, but my reading leads me to think this could be an issue.
The launch this weekend is up in the air due to lots of rain this week, but I want to be ready for the next launch date in any case.
