Super Colonial Viper Build
I wanted to bring up a question.
I got a Just More Super Colonial Viper and noticed it's main BT60 Body tube is 22" long. I realize that a longer tube equals a more stable fight in most cases. I also noticed that their BT50 Estes clone is 1/2" longer than the old Estes model. I decided to leave that at 10" instead of cutting it back to 9.5". I thought the Super Viper would look better with the main tube cut down, doing a 168% scale from the 10" tube which still makes it a little longer than if I used the 9.5" tube length for a starting point. So here is the question, would you cut the BT60 down from 22" to around 16.8" or leave it extra long? I also wanted to mention that I like my 3D printed nosecones better than the Estes ones that have been cut. The 3D ones are totally sealed when the bottom cap is glued in. Like that better on holding the clay to.

I'd cut it down to scale and use a layer of lead shot or sinkers below the clay topped with epoxy for extra nose weight.
