This model rocket was my own rocket that my uncle gave to me for my birthday so I thought I would use it. The overall design is awesome it looks so sleek and aerodynamic, the color and Chinese firework theme also really adds to it. It was pretty easy to put together since everything was snap on and plastic. I pretty much just had to put it together, it was pretty easy to put together unlike some of the other model rockets I've seen people make.
Once i put it together, which was a 30 minute process, It looked really cool I was very proud of myself but I realized that it was pretty easy and It was awesome. When I made the bottom I was a little confused but I understood what was what. Also with attaching the parachute to the nose cone I was slightly confused because you had to poke a hole in the nose cone.

It worked very well, well at first the takeoff platform was slightly slanted so the rocket took off slightly to the side. in the middle of the flight it went relatively straight but It want far away from the front of us so we had to go retrieve it. The parachute cam down in time and it landed softly so no damage was visible except for getting dirt in the body. Afterwards I would say that it flew really straight and high into the air and I was very happy.
My expectation were that since it was a model rocket it would fly pretty straight and high, which is what it did so I am very happy with the results. What didn't work was that it didn't fly up perfectly straight, but not a whole lot of things went wrong. What I learned was that the rocket is propelled by the motor and when it is sparked it reacts and explodes, it propels the rocket into the air. The rocket is shaped so the wind forms around it with the nose cone it separates the wind and the fins stabilize the rocket in the air. It was a great experience making this rocket blast off and It was a lot of fun watching it. Next Time I would make sure the takeoff stand was straight.
