Hi,
Will a 55g PenCam simply strapped to the side of an Estes Big Daddy fly on a D12? I would have thought that extra weight on one side will cause the rocket to tip during flight? I thought about evening out the extra weight by putting the batteries on the opposite side, thus a near 50-50 weight distribution. The cam will not fit inside the airframe and I don't really want to start hacking away plastic nose cones.
I am not all that concerned with extra drag etc (yet), simply what will happen when I push the big red button. RockSim says it will fly but is only marginally stable.
Finally will a C6 lift both rocket and 55g of camera? I was thinking of building it into a Quest Big Rage or Estes Big Bertha?
Any ideas?
Steve.
