Folks,
I have modified the maxi V2 as follows
Loc 29 mm motor tube
Loc centering rings including one inside small end of nosecone
styrene sheets sandwiched between the fin halves per Sandman
nose wight added 4 oz (I think) or was it 8 oz
retention hardware
pratt heat shield
36 in chute.
Now was all that a good idea. I am not sure. I like to say I have created a monster as it weighs 1.9 lbs
With the current nose wieght the CG is 18 in from the tip of the nose
I put in a mass overide and a CG on styme's rocksim file.
The loaded for launch weight CG is 19.8 in and Barrowman CP is 18.45 (Unstable) and Rocksim is 23.78 (marginably stable)
Am I ok here or add some more nose weight?
