Brother John,
Yep, we are all agreed that the E30 is just too much motor for the Bonestell. Think there is an E15 and two E14's hiding in my range box, just begging to give it a whirl.
Good job on the repair, those tight spaces between the tank strake and wing are tough to access.
Out to the shop for development work..
WORK you lazy gnomes!
*CRACK*
Hop to it!!
If you have an AT 24/40 motor, you could always try the E11-3J.
The oscillations might be velocity-dependent and they may be caused by the Ping-Pong balls on the outside of the body. Spherical things generate and shed vorteces.
I wonder what would happen if one flew the same configuration but without the balls... SCIENCE PROJECT!
. . . without the balls
Ranger,
To launch with the big engines, you gotta have the balls!
