...I pulled up an OR sim of the Cherokee E. Reduced the overall length of the airframe by 50 percent and added 10 grams of clay to the tip of the nose cone to get stability back. Same basic rocket.
Slight threadjack:
I'm such an OR nerd. I've just cleaned up this sim. Consolidated to a single BT, shrunk the chute to 15 inches, added a baffle and a boat tail. Neat little rocket. 2000 ft on an E12-6 you can buy at Hobby Lobby. I'll probably have to build it one day, as I do expect to have a spare Cherokee E nose cone left over from the PNC-55 nose cone pack down the road. It's already named the "Chero-K": shortened Cherokee, and -K for "kurz."
