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
