Unless the motor is hanging out the back the extra mass is near the CG. A 24mm G would make the rocket MORE STABLE.

This is how I tested one of the first E12 motors two years ago. I installed it in a stock motor mount of the latestes release of the Saturn V. Wraped a couple layers of tape around it and the engine hook so it would not eject out and flew it. I didn't add any nose weight to the model. It flew higher and straighter then it could ever do on a D12 motor. Apart from changing the standard engine hook to the longer E engine hook and moving the engine block further into the motor mount, I don't believe any additional nose weight will be needed, but a little clay up front wouldn't hurt either.

I used to fly a LOT of SVs, and I had a 2 cluster mount and a three cluster mount that itself was inserted into the motor mount tube and extended out the rear. I always used the Centuri clear plastic fin add-ons and a tower free nose cone on flight. Jerry |

I'll let all of you guys out there to do the testing on the Saturn V in countless wind conditions and report back to us. I don't have that much time since I'm busy designing the next rocket kit that I hope people will buy. John Boren Last edited by JumpJet : 07-08-2012 at 11:07 AM. |
