I’m pretty sure it will work…
I want to make an upscale of the art applewhite stealth saucer, that uses a 38mm engine mount. Even though they are always stable, how would I prove stability on something like this to an RSO? For my club, you typically have to have documented CP and CG information for them to let you fly it... but how is that calculated if you can't do it on a simulator? Even if I use base drag, how do you prove that a rocket has more than 1 caliber of stability, if it's not even 1 caliber long? I've seen others at my club fly large saucers... so do they just let you fly it automatically because it's a saucer? I find that unlikely.
Please help!
