Multi-stage Rocket Success!

This rocket is for my 4-H aerospace exhibit. It took champion at the county fair, and is now moving on to State!

The first attempt for this rocket ended in disaster. I had forgotten to turn on the staging electronics! Now I have vowed to use a checklist for every single launch.

How high did it goes?

[DTHRocket]

@jobro666 Should have gone 3000 ft but I think it only went 2000.

what fuel did you use?/?

[DTHRocket]

@PILOTGABE1 The motors use a composite propellant of ammonium perchlorate and a binder (I think it's rubber). The NH4ClO4 is the oxidizer, and the rubber is the fuel.
