Day Seventeen

Today was a day for revisions. The main problem with our rocket was that it was too heavy; it needs to be under 3 ounces. We originally cut off the rocket fins in order to get rid of excess weight, as well as changing our nose to a paper cone in order to cut weight. Since we still needed fins to provide stability to the rocket, we made them out of a manila folder to lighten the load. We also only used three fins instead of four to reduce the load. Another thing we did was shorten parachute strings and only put paper in the egg.
