Nose Ballast and All Up Flight Ready Swing Test
I cut & temporarily installed a 2 ounce nose weight into the rocket and then loaded the parachute and E20-4 motor into the spool for a swing test.
Test shows it is stable. Not overly stable though, on one of the tests it danced around quite a bit until I got it up to speed.
There's plenty of room to add more nose weight if needed in the future. I glued in the nose weight, and used wood glue to coat the counter bore face as a fire retardant.. thanks to
@jqavins reminder.
She's ready for primer and paint.
