Ok all you rocksim Gods,i have a three D cluster,and want to use it on a Big Daddy. (1)Will it fly? (2) How much nose weight,ect,does it need?(3) has anyone done it,i'm sure they have,how does it work? thank you....jerry.
 
Jerry,

The CP on the Big Daddy is roughly 15" from the nose so you'll need enough nose weight to move the CG to 11.5" (for 1.5 calibers of stability). I haven't done 3-Ds but for reference my 1-24mm/4-18mm cluster took 3.25oz and I believe my son's 4-D cluster took nearly 5oz.

Oh, and does it work? You bet! Good luck...
