Hello bloggers! on Monday we got to test our rockets out and send them on a test flight. we flew our rocket... and it was a bit disappointing. one of the fins fell off, and the rocket itself tumbled to the floor. here are our results we gathered and overall score.
The fins were uneven and unstable. We used 3 fins, and we think 4 would be good next time.
The nose cone was surprisingly sturdy for not being glued or taped onto the rocket.
The weight may have been too much. Next time we could add 2 hex nuts to go higher.
The water was fine. We used 260. We might add more to get more thrust.
The psi was as much as we could go, 60. I think we should lower it but by a small amount
I would give it a 4/10. It went poorly and it definitely needs improvements.
But next time, me and my rocket team will make sure to make it excellent.
See you next time!
