Help with decouplers

[Devilstar]

Hey guys, I am having issues with decouplers, it might be more of an atheistic thing, but I had a launch where it failed, and I wonder what I might be doing wrong, picture attached for reference to what the decoupler is doing.

It might be something I am doing wrong, but in the past the decouplers went past the motor and to the fuel tank making a nice even tube all the way down. Help??

The engine you're using is a 1m engine. Stick in a poodle or skipper (or mainsail) and violin, the shroud will go down to the decoupler.

The engine shroud is a function of the engine not the decoupler. As previously mentioned, that is a 1.25m engine and a 2.5m decoupler. Use a Skipper or Poodle engine and it will be bigger. Then again, that does cause some problems. Larger engines are more fuel hungry.

Awesome, I will try that. thanks for the help guys!

Just add struts outboard of the engine, but inboard of the fuel tank edges. That works for me when I have a small engine between Rockomax tanks.
