I'm new here and was hoping someone can help me.

I bought the Estes Gemini DC kit (Estes 2136) a few years ago. I quit flying rockets before I assembled the kit. I just got back into flying rockets and decided to put the kit together. I had all of the parts, but couldn't find the plans. No problem, I've built a lot of rockets so I put her together without a hitch. Well, I thought it went together without a hitch. Now that she's assembled, it seems tail heavy. Do the instructions call for adding weight to the nose? :confused:

Any help would be appreciated.

Check www.estesrockets.com. If the DC hasn't been discontinued, they might have the plans available online.

My plans don't show any nose weight.

Thanks Barone. It just doesn't feel right to me though. It looks like I need to do some prelaunch tests to check stability. Better safe than sorry.
