I'm still a newbie when it comes to building rockets, but from what I do know, we try to keep the CG's forward and the CP's aft, right? So what happens if we put a pair of smaller engines forward, angled outwards (like a Deuce's Wild) with a single larger engine aft (Traditional style)? The amount of drag from a forward-mounted angled motor wouldn't push the CP that much farther forward, and the forward motor weight would certainly help counter that.
Is there anything out there that says this idea WOULDN'T work? The recovery system would be center mounted, with the forward engines having no ejection charges.
