Spencer Post 2

It is Spencer alone making the rocket.  I decided to make a rocket out of a "Perrier" sparkling water bottle.  I was informed that the Perrier bottle won last years distance and hang time.  I researched that an agive which is the tip works very well with our curved bottle shape and that fins should be in proportion with the rocket's size. I am still considering what material and what size to use for my fins.  So far i have a very well made rocket that is described as;  long and skinny for quick speed that makes as little as possible drag, made out of two Perrier bottles to make both ends cut through the air fairly easily,and a tall skinny nose cone to cut through the air fairly easily and as quick as possible.
