I'm just getting into composite motors, and couldn't resist picking up a Mega Der Red Max. I'm building it stock.
Im planning to order a couple of G77/78/79 motors from the LMS series (no RMS cases yet, and I want to avoid HAZMAT fees). I know the bag card recommends 7 second delays for Gs, but that seems awful long for a big draggy bird with a projected altitude around 500'.
I'm considering using the delay tool to drill a 7 down to a 5 second delay when assembling the motor - is that a good idea? What have the rest of you experienced? I know the "right" answer is to sim it, but again being new, don't quite trust my OpenRocket skills yet.
