Re: SpaceLoft XL Failure

One could also think of the following two points:

1. Center of gravity changes as the Solid fuel is used up, (this may
have contrib. to the flight profile change).
2. Structure reinforcement may be needed for the highest point of
dynamic pressure, (Check some of the open source calc programs, to give
design requirements).

Hope this helps you out. My Space Club Kids are building a 1:48th Scale
Saturn V right now, (Scratch design has been a nightmare). I will not
let them work with the high power stuff, (But we wish you good luck,
and God Speed).
