Launches

The launch lug was too big on the initial attempt, so a smaller one was created for this launch. There was no damage to the rocket, although the motor got stuck inside the motor mount and we had to use one of the test motor caps as a replacement, since the motor ended up breaking the motor cap after being yanked out. Other than this, the launch went smoothly.

There was no damage to the rocket even though it fell nose-first. The parachute was able to deploy although the rotating motion made it less effective. The fins loosened a bit but overall they stayed put. This launch had the highest altitude.

Fins loosened considerably but did not fall off, so 5 points were deducted. Parachute was still less effective due to rotation, although it was able to soften the landing considerably.
