What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
I'm preparing for my L1 attempt with an Estes Ventris. First time with RMS motors. The ship is built according to factory instructions except for a metal tube for the kevlar shock cord. When I sim (RocSim) with a H55W I get strange accelerations. H55W-10 15g H55W-14 50g H = Total impulse 55 = average thrust W = White Lightning 10/14 = Ejection delay Am I reading these correctly? I don't understand how a delay change could affect acceleration. If anything a longer delay should reduce acceleration slightly from a heavier motor. Thanks, Mike |

Try stopping the sim at motor burnout. You will then be able to see the max-G value due to the motor's thrust without the deployment event affecting it. Doug .
