Hey all you high fliers and knowledge holders on this topic.
I am toying with the design of a very high flight and want to use spin stabilization. Of course there is no point in a high flight without video.
Can someone point me to references on how to roughly size a yo-yo despin system given a starting spin rate and rocket inertia? For example assume I have a 3" 15# sustainer spining at 15 rev/s..... How heavy an long should my yo-yo(s) be?
