Handy and I built two motors today and tested them out. Since we had a successful day testing our rocket out yesterday we decided to try again. Luckily for us both of our motors turned out really well. Our motors didn't take us long at all because we decided to make them at the same time. Since we created a motor before the only thing that we really needed help on was how much fuel to use. On our third test our rocket landed on it's tip which ended up breaking it. We decided to stop at that point since we figured we had good enough results. Our rocket performed really well although I think our sides were uneven which meant it wouldn't fly as well as it could have. I am extremely proud of how our rocket turned out, we put a lot of work into it and it turned out better than we had envisioned it. If we were to redo this project the only thing I would change is how we cut the pieces. Our pieces weren't symmetrical which caused it to only fly up a short distance then crash onto the ground. In rocket building it's very important for your pieces to be even as we figured out on our own. If they aren't they won't fly to their full capacity.
