@silvermoon82 This was *definitely* all eyeballed. Our goal was mostly to build a rocket in Kerbal Space Program and then 3D print it to see what would happen when we jam a motor in it! There was no center of mass/thrust analysis, it was heavy, etc. etc. There's software out there to simulate model rockets, so a version 2.0 will happen where we try and apply some best practices to it. In terms of a full-sized tube, that would more significantly change the balance, and I think we'd want to understand the basic prinicples of model rocket design better before launching something even bigger and heavier than this!
