MODEL ROCKET SWING-TEST FOR FIN-STABILIZED ROCKETS (IMPORTANT: WATCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH)

This is an extremely important test to perform on any model rocket you design. Determining whether your rocket is stable for flight, using the, 'weather-cock', swing test. Find the COG (Center of Gravity), on your rocket. It must be forward of the Center of Pressure (COP). Slowly, get, the rocket into a centrifugal loop by swinging it, around, secured, with a string, or twine. If the rocket's nose end is pitched, forward, into the wind - in a sustained loop - then, you're 'Good-to-Go, Houston'. If, not - you might end up burning down 6 acres of conservation land, as, I did, once. That, dumb, event ended up in the local newspaper, the following, day! TEST YOUR ROCKET, UNDER, REAL, FLIGHT CONDITIONS, FOR FLIGHT STABILITY, BEFORE YOU FLY!
