How long is your launch rod?
After typing up your post, click on "Upload a File" in the lower right of the posting window. A window will pop up, go to the directory where the file is located and highlight the .ork (Open Rocket) file. Then click on "Open". The file will appear on the bottom of your posting window. Done.can post up the file, but how do I do so?
Well, I would put it as there is a minimum safe launch speed in calm conditions, and that safe minimum goes up (to mitigate windcocking) as the wind speed goes up. Also rocket design affects windcocking. Doesn't mean that if the wind speed is 2 mph you can launch with a rod speed of 8 mph (!).That was my take on it as well. That in dead calm conditions it's not as critical to have a high launch speed
@Nytrunner I ran another sim with a F44W-4. 32.5 MPH off the rod, apogee 615', 26 MPH at deployment. The Optimum Delay is 5.61 s. Do you know if one can shorten the delay time on the 24mm single use Aerotech's?Ooph, all but the last two are sluggish off the rod, and even tbose two are a little anemic.
Well, you won't run the risk of losing sight of it at any rate!
