We were hoping the bigger motor would be enough to allow us to go higher, but that didn't work out so we're going to need to lighten up the rocket.
- After our old transition got a little burned, we replaced it with the new one, but it was 20-25 grams heavier and looked stronger as well which made us go shorter than we would've with the old one
- 6mph NE wind.
- It had been snowing on and off for the past week but was clear when we launched.
- 29°F, our coldest launch ever.
- 69% relative humidity but absolute humidity is probably very low.
- 30.33" pressure.
- Eggs: 58g & 60¼g
- 629g takeoff mass.
- F35-5W motor.
Results:
The plan now is to lighten up the rocket by cutting some foam off the egg protectors and making the top tube shorter. We're going to replace the whole top tube and rail buttons because also because if we just shortened it the bottom rail button would be too close to the top one.
