On a rocket, it doesn’t add to stability at all, not the way that a tractor trailer or kite tail or pendulum does (as @Azamiryou correctly noted). Think about what happens when the rocket is disturbed in its flight and goes off-angle relative to the direction of travel through the air.

Hey, guys. I’m currently designing my next build, which I’m hoping to be an L1/L2 certifiable rocket. I’ve decided to go against the grain a bit with this design, so before I drop a small fortune into it, I thought I’d run my ideas by you guys first. With this build, I intend to run electronic...
I read a post earlier and it made me wonder what the fastest documented speed is during an amateur rocket flight? I checked the TRA records page and the only records I found are altitude related. My definition of documented is actual speed measured from an onboard device and recovered after a...

On this rocket, that would put the rail button at 19" up. However, the zipperless coupler is between 17 and 21" from the rear. Without using conformal rail guide glued to the outside of the airframe, it need to be placed further forward. Mounting at 22" will place it outside of the coupler zone. As a result, this removes 2' from any rail I ...

The Eggtimer EZ-DD rocket is a 3" diameter 40" long cardboard/wood rocket, based on the venerable Balsa Machining 3" School Rocket, but with a 12" parachute payload bay and a custom dual-deploy AV bay. It has a 29mm motor mount, and flies great on G and H motors, and will also handle some I's too. It weighs about 24 oz without the motor.
I'm looking for a rocket to build for my L2 cert. Any favorites or recommendations would be appreciated.
I'm a newbie to OpenRocket and I don't do rocketry irl (I just love making these rockets that go high in OR) So, is there any visual tutorial on how to do multi-staging in OpenRocket? I don't understand the wiki (It doesn't seem to work)...
The rocket is a 4inches Minimum Diameter rocket with a O3400 for the Booster and a N1100 for the sustainer, both from Cesaroni. My first idea was to offset the upper stage motor so it can fit in the lower stage.
Construction began on an immersive entertainment venue in Cleveland’s Gateway District, across the street from Rocket Arena.
