Changing the lean angle isn't a trivial operation, though, and can't be done safely when the rocket is fueled and pressurized. So we can't adapt to changing wind conditions; we have to either wait it out - a poor prospect in Mojave - or live with the weathercocking. Given the enormous horizontal velocity weathercocking produces, the latter isn't a good option either. -R -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire." -Sir Charles Kingsford Smith _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
