Hey All,
I've been getting more and more into simming my flights lately and using thrustcurve to make sure I'm well within the safe range. This is mostly due to overbuilding my Estes kits (mostly Plywood upgrades and epoxy+fiberglass filets).
Are there good rules of thumb for T:W ratio and speed off the rail? I've seen 5:1 is the minimum you want to see for T:W but no good data on speed off the rail. I know this is well discussed for HPR stuff but I haven't found any great guides for MPR/LPR (I assume since most of this is just follow the kit lol).
Thanks everyone!
