I don't know how this happened as I took pains to prevent it.
My motor mount is slightly canted!!
Facts:
MM is 33" long
MM is 54mm dia.
MM is 1/8" off center at the forward end
rocket is 4" dia.
rocket is 90" long
rocket is nearly 4 calipers stable
rocket will fly on hypertek motor
I don't know exactly how far canted the mount is (maybe one of you guys that are a bit more friendly with Pythagoris can figure that out)
Given the slight cant and the overstable rocket how/will this effect flight?
Update: I just measured it and it is actually only 1/16" off center at the forward end.
