I love your videos!! You're the best, and your rockets are amazing!!

I tried to make one of these but a few seconds after launch the rocket starts rolling over and over in mid air like its doing cartwheels. How should i stop this from happening? Less weight on the front? or a smaller nozzle?

Thanks in advance!!

@gettingwarmer Thanks. :) It sounds like the rocket is unstable. Try adding more nose weight, or putting the fins further back. If you go to our main website and look at the "Flying Straight" article it will give you more details.

how do u attach parachutes to the boosters.

[gk123434534]

@willielajay The parachutes are held behind two door halves made of PET plastic. The two halves come together very much like a hinge, and the hinge-pin is just a piece of wire. This wire is attached to the main stage. When the booster starts falling back, the wire pulls out of the "hinge" and the doors are free to open and deploy the parachute.
