I'm working on some drafts of a large-scale Saturn I model and have been running into some conflicting info on my simulations. Without help, the CP on the Saturn I Block 2 is fairly far forward:
However, it's a fairly short rocket at 7:1 fineness ratio, so I thought the base drag hack might help:
That seems REALLY optimistic to me though. Can someone with a bit more experience with this technique weigh in on which of these numbers (or neither) is more accurate?
