For our design we decided to go with a 4 fin design, we thought it would be the most stable fin for our rocket. Our fin shape was a _________ design. We didn't cut our rocket body down for the first lunch we left it at full length, but after the first launch we only reached 87ft s we decided to cut the rocket down and shave down the fins to lose weight. When doing the "swing test" we found our rocket to be very balanced with a full load.
We also took off some of the electrical tape we had put on to help reduce air resistance because we found it added too much weight. I was talking to a few of the teams who’s rocket had reached over 120ft and they were saying they just kept it simple and used moderately small wings.

Here is our second launch took by me
Calculations
Future launches
If we were to do another launch or a future rocket project i think that i would like to try to reduce as much weight as possible by cutting down the rocket body and using a smaller wing shape, also we would try to get away from usinh hot glue due to its weight.
