Oh yeah, almost forgot....first dart is 100% complete. Three interchangeable nosecones all weighted differently so I can test stability of the free-spinning canard segment at 1.1 cal, then 0.78 cal, then if all appears well down to 0.39 cal.
For those who haven't read the whole thread, I'm inducing spin in the forward section of the missile whereas the aft should nominally fly without rotation. This should effective reduce the impact to CP from the canards and simultaneously add gyroscopic stability to the rocket. Both of these things independently should allow a rocket to be acceptably stable below the 1.0 caliber rule-of-thumb.
