No. I haven't tested anything yet, I'm working the original build first and researching basic model rocketry techniques. I'm looking for the perfect ratio of fin length, number of fins etc in relation to size of the fuselage, diameter of said fuselage, weight and mass, as well as balance... and so on. It seems to me that the most stable ships have four fins and there is a direct correlation in the thickness and length as well as the shape when it comes to inflight stability... Sorry, I had to put my engineers hats back on and I'm a little rusty.
