The instructions I found for the TIE Fighter have a lot of good information...….but the instructions also lack critical information.
Most importantly, there is no value for the Center of Gravity [CG].
The instructions do show adding weight to the nose, but it does not say how much. It says add two 'weights', listed as: NCW-1A [#38280]. I believe these weights were lead washers.
So, my plan is to put a motor in the rocket, along with an estimate of needed nose weight, and do the old "string test": find where the rocket balances, and spin it around to see if it is stable.
Another observation is that the ONLY motor recommended for this model is a C6-3. Which means the model will be heavy for its size.
Any comments or criticisms of this course of action are welcome.
