OpenRocket Exposed Cluster Tube and Partial Fairings

[ether]

What is the best way to approximate the CP impact of having cluster tubes with partial fairing in OR?





Would using a regular body tube with the diameter that encapsulates and a transition that is the same lenght as the fairings work? presume it should be conservative in modeling CP, not focused on modeling performance, looking for stability calc

Yup, your simulation will be more conservative on CP and overeager on speed. Motor deploy or electronic ?

Cool beans, then you shouldn't have to worry too much about your simulated apogee timing / speed.
