Bo,
I worked up a simulation of Dead Ringer, using an invisible paper transition with no mass and no CG to simulate our suspicions about how the rings work. The components are not exactly as in your design, but they should be close.
Nose Cone: BNC-50K
Body Tube: BT-50
Ring 1: CR-5060, 3.50" from rear
Ring 2: CR-5070, 1.75" from rear
Ring 3: CR-5080, 0.63" from rear
Ring 4: CR-5080, 0.10" from rear
EM-59 motor mount (SEMROC package)
12" Parachute (or 2x20 streamer)
SE-10 screw eye
Snap Links
SC-24 elastic
SCK-24 Kevlar
Length: 22.35"
Diameter: 0.976" (BT-50)
Span: ~2.80"
Weight: 1.16 oz
1/2 A3-2T......90'......Dv 2 FPS.......requires 25" of guide length
A10-3T........215'......Dv 10 FPS......requires 20" of guide length
Margin with A10-3T motor installed: 2.29 (VERY STABLE!)
Margin with 1/2A3-2T motor installed: 2.08 (VERY STABLE)
CG with A10-3T: 15.54" from NC tip
CG with 1/2A3-2T: 15.75" from NC tip
Let me know if this comes close to your observed performance with the prototype.
