Objectives

• Test a weighted down Red rocket with E20 motors.
• Test both rockets with 12inch cargo chutes.
• Test the Pink rocket with different weights around 310g using the E12-6 motors.

Lessons

• May want to try videoing a deployment from a drone.
• The Red rocket went way to low, because some how we weighed it down to 480 grams. It should have been around 380 grams. It still flew relatively straight.
• The ignition sputtered in the Red rocket E20, especially the first flight. May have lost some power. We need to be sure the igniter is in clean with a wad of tape to keep it in and build pressure.
• The E12s seemed OK for the Pink rocket, but the rocket still did not go as straight as we would like. The motor mount and thrust ring holder seemed loose.
• The Pink rocket had its streamer 20% rip off again. We need to tape the edges of the Mylar streamers.
• The 12 inch chutes seemed to give a reasonable descent. Maybe loose more weight in the cargo unit and add weight to the booster. Maybe another coat of paint to the booster.
• No eggs broke, and we recovered all rockets.
