i am new to G rocketry. In the past i have made some larger rocket, maybe 4 feet tall, with 3 or 6 E engines in them, but i am now moving up to G. I was wondering what the difference in wpower is. What can i expect, going from 3 or 6 E engines to 1 or maybe 3 G engines?
We are having a rocket build off at work, engineers against us, the designers, and we cant lose, a pizza party is on the line!
we have also been looking into CG anc CP, so the added weight from the G engines might bring my center of gravity down right?
the rocket is thick (unfortunatley) cardboard, a shipping tube, 36 inches tall, foam tip turned ona lathe, balsa fins.
also, if we cluster engines, like G engines, what kind of power is needed to ignite them efficiently, all at the same time??
thanks for your help!
