Seeking advice on starting-state wind conditions using OpenRocket and RockSim

What’s the criteria for different speeds?

Actual launch site wind speed conditions....​

Yeah, we are ships passing in the night.

You said run the sims, look at angle of attack…it will guide you.

I asked how do you do that? My bad…how do you use the data to guide you?

You said it should settle to less than 5 degrees in a 4 mph wind. Ok, now I have criteria…either AOA < Windspeed + 1, or AOA < 5 degrees. Didn’t know which so I asked extensibility…I.e. what is the criteria/equation at different windspeeds…I still don’t know the criteria. Thanks!

It's all related to weather cocking.​

1st you said you had the criteria..​

Just plug in the different wind speeds and look at the results.​
