Objectives

• Qualify the Red rocket with E20-7 motors around 415g.
• Qualify the Pink rocket with weights around 315g using E12-6 motors.

Lessons

• It is hard to use a cell phone camera in the bright snow.
• We kept the launch rail straight up.
• The Pink rocket had igniters replaced several times.
• The Pink rocket landed hard on the first flight and cracked the body around the fins. We tried to tape it up, but then had a very poor flight. No qualification attempt.
• The Red rocket had a strange 2nd flight which may have been a launch rail issue. The third flight was better, but got tangled in descent.
• The final Red rocket flight was for qualification and had a very good score. The team spent time drying the recovery system and used a lot of baby powder.
• No eggs broken, and we recovered all rockets.
• We need another launch to complete qualification flights.
