Pop lugs, not drugs
I found something in Openrocket I've never seen before.
I'm sending my mammoth up on a G33 and adjusted the parachute opening to reflect the chute release I'll use (no main deploy at half a mile up please)
I imagined I'd have to make a sudo-chute to simulate the airframe tumble so it didn't just sim as coming in ballistic until release. All my previous sims threw the "Depoloyment at high speed" warning as expected, but the G33 gave me a green checkmark. Upon inspection of the flight plot, it's showing this "Tumbling event" which matches actual recovery behavior amazingly well!
What is the deal here? What criteria does OR use too determine "Tumbling"? Some conbimation of length, static margin, and low weight, that I happen to have magically hit upon by throwing a G33 in the mammoth?
