Relatively new here,, so don’t know if this is the appropriate forum or not…
Nearing completion on my first L1 capable (theoretically) bird – an LOC Nuke Pro Maxx – with a couple of minor mods – beefed up the shock cord attachment, put on an Aerotech motor retainer, and just finished glassing the fins today. Won’t have it ready for June club launch, but maybe July.
Wondering if there was anyone willing to spend a few minutes with me at this Saturday’s (June 11) club launch – a quick pre-inspection and advice on the construction so far and a little RockSim help (I’ll bring my laptop) With the mods I’ve done, the CG has moved back towards the CP, so I modified the packaged RockSim file to try to model – but clearly doing something wrong. The results are garbage – at one point I had CG 7 inches BEHIND the motor nozzle. Obviously missing something on how to reference added masses (motor retainers, 38/29 adaptors, etc.).
Appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Jack,
It shows you are in Fort Collins, I’m also located there – if you’d like to come over and I can look it over for you I’d be more than happy to – let me know.
