this was our very first launch. Most of our rockets were the inside of tinfoil tubes with cardboard fins and rolled paper nose cones. Most of our engines were C11-7s and C6s. Most of our rockets didn't work. Our grand finale was a two stage. There wasn't a butterfly just a D12-0 and a C6-5 taped together. Of course it didn't work and spiraled out of control. Even though our rockets really sucked we had a great time.
Titan launch:
This was our first launch where we had more successes than fails. We ordered from Quest and got body tubes and tips we thought this was so professional. Most of our fins were frame board triangles. All our rockets were minimum diameter and were spray painted red. Most of the engines were C6s and Bs. Our grand finale (the Titan) was a 25mm tube 3o inches long with a D12-0 and a C11-7 taped together the idea was the D would light the C and that would burn through the D. The C11 slid up and set fire to the upper body tube.
Kaelan's rockets weren't minimum diameter. they were long, tall and skinny. All of them didn't have recovery devices. The egg carrying one was fun to watch as it fell to the ground and crashed next to my car.

The July launch:
By far our biggest and best. We all ordered from quest again and Simon and I got a 35mm tube and tip. We made our Goliath rocket its the one below with the golden tip and red fins. Kaelan's big rocket was called the Havoc. Both of them flew on D12-5s. All three of us saved up all the rockets we made in the last 3 months. Simon and I had over 20 and Kaelan had 16 or so. We went out to pony express testing range to shoot them off. It was a great launch.
