For a local contest I´m required to build a rocket under the following regulations:
(English is not my first language so I apolagize in advance for any grammar errors)
-Rocket must have a mass of at least 200 grams
-Can only use one engine and it hast to be the D11 from Estes
-Estability must be between 1,5 and 2,5
-Must have an empty cilindrical compartment of at least 20 cm, with a 5 cm external diameter and 4,8 internal diameter. THe minimal measure of the rocket is 27 cm (the measure of the engine + the empty compartment)
-The fins cannot go pass the engine (back of the rocket), in fact nothing can be located behid the engine
-Nothing can be in front of the nose of the rocket
As of right now I have managed to make a rocket with exactly 200g, that can reach an apogee of 252 meters with a estability of 2,4. My professor has told me this results are positive but I believe there is a lot of room for improvement. It also doesnt like too impressive to be honest, it's actually rather simple.
Any help that you can provide is extremely appreciated, even the smallest tip will do.
(The file attached is the current model of the rocket)
