I recently got my level 1 certification. (yay!) The flight went well, however the rocket did weathercock about 15-20 degrees into the wind off the launch pad, resulting in a bit of a walk to recover the rocket. I flew on a pretty low thrust motor (I150), and the liftoff velocity would have been right around 45-50 ft/s. Would this problem be corrected by using a motor with higher thrust? I may attempt level 2 on the same rocket, and just want to clarify this.
This was a very heavy rocket for level 1. 4" fiberglass, dry weight around 100oz and a 54mm mount. (Madcow kit)
