• ~50 °F.
• Mostly clear skies.
• Lower winds, 6-7 mph of wind max the whole time.
• Pre-launch mass of 615g.
• New stronger but slightly heavier 3D printed transition (same model but PLA rather than ASA) held onto the upper tube with three new removable plastic rivets.
• PerfectFlite Firefly altimeter.
• First flight: Cesaroni Pro29 57F59-7A, we drilled 5 sec off of the initial 12sec delay.
• Second flight: Cesaroni Pro29 57F59-5A, we drilled 7 sec off of the initial 12sec delay.

Results:

• 51sec flight duration
• First flight: 884' apogee.
• Second flight: 906' apogee.

We're improving our results a lot, but we were thinking that we'd be getting closer to 820' or likely lower, looking at the OpenRocket. I don't know if we misused the delay drilling tool or what, but for some reason the second flight went higher than the first one, even though we thought we took more delay off which would have led to an overall shorter time. During both flights the parachute ejected a couple seconds after the apogee. It's possible the parachute was packed differently leading to different results, I'm not sure. Next launch the plan is to just add as much weight as we can and just have the rocket be at the 650g limit and hope we bring the apogee down enough.
