I launched my 3” Dark Star on a K700 and as the burn progressed it appears that the rocket coned. I can’t recall the actual technical term for this effect however I would like someone’s interpretation of the video. As I understand this it may be a result of my CG moving forward due to the propellant being expelled. One other thing about the rocket, which you can see in the still @ 5:06, it has a Mobius action cam mounted on the payload section of the upper airframe. I was also wondering if this contributed to the issue.
Thanks to Coleman, the launch video is here and I have it queued up at my Dark Star https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc4m1xoCLTM&feature=youtu.be&t=283
