    What did you do rocket wise today?

    Today I bought a new piece of glass 8 by 10 put tape on the edges and waxed it, now I'm ready to glue multi-piece fins together and keep them flat while the glue sets. I use the car wax as a release agent.

    I went home sick too. I was there and I flew Fat Albert, he literally crashed do to a tangled chute and burned because the experimental smoke tracking grain melted through the heat shield and lit him on fire. :( RIP Fat Albert.
