    I am a distant relative of the Lee family from the same area. Most of my family on that side lost their lives in Coal mines. I have fought, starved, and survived that life to work in the aerospace and military supply area. I was on the Trident missile program and Raytheon missiles. A late starter at age 32, I am a living example you never give up and fight until your last breath. I am now with a a break-off company from Raytheons best inventors to help with innovation and new future ideas. We are part of our ancestors and though we improve on those characteristics, we should still be thankful for the sacrifice they made.

    Of all the years building as a teen, and now moons later getting back into model rockets (79 my last launch). I only knew Cp and Cg but never calculated or had too. love the simple explanation and great to know there is more Open Source software (OSS) Like Open Rocket to help calculate I plan on starting from scratch again (bottom up) but will have a nice custom built and do these calculations. simple - informative and years later i know more then just Cp & Cg and the Cp had to be behind. I know why 👍

    If you places a fan about 2 or 3 feet above the cardboard cutout blowing downward onto the "shadow" and then tried to balance it you may find the center of pressure more accurately. The downward flow of air will create a greater force toward the rear of the rocket because of the greater surface area which means if you want to balance it you will need to move the fulcrum point further back towards the rear. Not sure of this would be more or less accurate than open rocket but I'm fairly confident it will be more accurate than the shadow method without the fan. Just a thought
