Hi everyone, I'm launching my first model rocket this month and design a tripod to hold it in the right position, just like in the picture below .

This is a p&id I've made today for my liquid fueled rocket engine. The main propellant valves are yet to be decided so you can ignore the pneumatic valve system. You can also ignore the igniter ethanol orifice. No check valves in the igniter sources due to a pending idea. Critiques welcomed.1yr ⋅ Active_String2216 ⋅ r/rocketry

Hey, I’m building a KNSB motor and I wonder if such grain placement as shown it the first drawing could cause any issues. My rocket is super light so the motor makes it really tail heavy.
