Flight 2

We cannot seem to catch a break here, but we figured out what we think happened at the other launch.  We made sure everything fit better and nothing seemed to stick when assembling the rocket.

Getting things ready to go, we prep as much as possible at home because it is COLD outside.

Everyone is set in their assigned roles now so the launches (when they work) should go smoother.

Taping the parts after inserting the altimeter:

Setting up the rocket on the launch pad

We had some issues with the connections on the launch box this time, but we worked those out, turned out that the screws on the outside of the box were too tight and didn't allow for a good connection.  It is always something.

It took 6 tries to get the rocket off the launch pad.

Then it did this. 

We need to do some work figuring out what is going on with the rocket.  Luckily the recovered parts of the rocket weren't too bad this time.  Back to the drawing board.
