A few days ago when I was clearing off my workbench to glass the fins on the Laserloc, I saw a rocket that Mrs. Elf got for Secret Santa years ago. A Madcow 1.6" Patriot. It flew fine on its first flight with a C11, but went unstable with a flight with an E12 and also went unstable again with another C11 flight. Looking at this rocket, I decided it was worth putting some effort into it to get it flying again
. I bought a Aeropack 29mm retainer base (using a Cap from another rocket I decided to retire) and another 24mm Adapter. I then shoved in an E12 and added enough clay in the nose to move the CG to where the instructions says it should be, and then added a bit more for good measure.
I then entered the specs in Rocksim and did some sims. I tried making an Open Rocket file too but OR kept crashing on me. Based on the sims and what I have in inventory, I am planning to put it up on a D15T for it's next flight. I really do like those D15T's
