Reflection During the first build of the balsa rockets I learned a lot. First how to build and setup a rocket out of balsa wood. Second how to make an effective and ineffective rocket motor. The biggest thing I learned while building the rocket is to make sure it isn't too back heavy. Are first build had massive fins and was very unbalanced, it never made it off the ground. From that I looked at effective rockets and I created the theory that are rocket was far too back heavy. That theory was well tested because even after baking the fuel and making a good motor the rocket still did not launch. Next time i will make sure to make the rocket nose heavy, well balanced, and make a strong dry motor.
