What I learned

I learned that there's a limit to the amount of weight you can put in your cone. After watching other people's rockets with absolutely no weight in the cone fail miserably, I thought that a lot of weight in the cone was the key to a smooth and successful launch. Every test launch I added a little more weight thinking it would help it fly straighter and smoother. Every time the rocket seemed a little more off balance when flying, but what I didn't realize, was that what was affecting the rocket was not the weather or lack of weight but that there was too much weight. On the final launch I added even more weight resulting in the sad fail of my rocket. Then and only then did I realize my cone weight was the reason of it's fail.
