    Length for launch rail?

    Hey all, I'm working on my newest rocket(Neptune II), which is my first mid powered rocket. It's definitely on the upper end of the mid-power spectrum, she runs on an F-15-8. I need to build a new launchpad, and I'm doing so out of 10/10 rail. After this rocket, I'm planning on jumping...

    Altitude to expect on a Estes F engine?

    Open rocket stability number?

    Hi all, I just got Open Rocket to simulate an F powered rocket that I'm building, and for some reason, I can't get the stability number past 0.6! I've tried everything. Any ideas on what to fix?

    Mid Powered tube rocket?

    If my fins are too long, then could I make swooping cuts in them to decrease the surface area?
