Well Kailee, Handy and I wanted this rocket to weigh at most twenty grams ALL TOGTHER but we found out that was impossible with the rocket tube and the fins and the motor. For the "rocket tube" we used a three slim pieces of paper, they were about two feet long in length and about four to five inches in width, we had a piece of PVC pipe and we rapped up the PVC pipe with the pieces of paper; the first piece of paper we slowly wrapped it around the pipe and taped the edges to the end and then the second piece of paper we covered it in wood glue and also wrapped I around the pipe but we wrapped it the opposite way the first one was and the third once we did the same but just the opposite way the second one was so like the first one. Then we made our motor, It is the same motor I talked about before in my other blog post, it is 66%, 33%, and 1% Iron oxide. Kailee and Handy (footy) wanted the rocket to be a light blue but I wanted it to be red, so they didn't tell me and started painting the body blue, I got mad and went outside and when I came back I took the fins for the rocket and started painting them red. We made the parachute out of some type of Hazard bag thing it was supposed to be not flammable but it caught fire in our rocket so it lied to us.
