A stability test in which a strin' is attached t' a model rocket at t' center o' gravity and then swung around t' head. If t' model is stable, shiver me timbers, it will head nose into t' direction o' travel. Aye aye! This test has a large margin o' error, thus producin' models often overly stable. It can nay be used for large rockets, shiver me timbers, unless Kin' Kong consents t' twirl t' string. Sometimes called a strin' test.
