Saturday. Yes, provided you have the CP/CG proper. The only unknown is the spin of the rocket, we're assuming not too much. If there is a high spin, it can resist the weather clock significantly.

what day is freddy launching? Also, does openrocket account for weathercocking or just angle?

What was unusual when we looked at wind speed and what made a great test case was almost all the way up the winds were constant, @ 23mph. Now the winds are varying more with altitude so harder it is harder to predict an "average" wind speed.

We will adjust when we have the very latest weather prediction, but it seems pretty accurate knowing what happened last time when I flew it to 12 K at 1.33 Mach and ended up 3 miles away with wind-speeds over 40 mph..

Freddy, what is your expected descent rate without a drogue?

106 feet /sec
