I believe placing the payload mass farther out from the radial center of mass (rather than directly above the center of thrust) will increase the system's stability and cause slower attitude response to nozzle gimbals. <BR/><BR/>I believe the LLC website said your vehicle is 300 lbs empty, 550 loaded. The extra payload constitutes an almost 10% mass increase; do you anticipate having to adjust your controls, or have you programmed tolerances in for this kind of thing?Jesse Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864702035881452448noreply@blogger.com
