    Your most jinxed rocket what is it?

    2" Talon. Once I added about 8" to the front it at last would fly straight, before that it would leave the rail and immediately "take a left" and sail downrange. Last flight ended up about 80' up in a tree, finally got it down, I think its retired for good.

    What would you consider as too much noseweight?

    I don't see the mentioned in the thread so I thought I'd add this, since I've had it happen in a flight.
