Rocket stability test

Explanation of the stability test:


First we glued the fins back on and made the nose cone.
Then we found out the mass line and traced out the rocket in cardboard.
After that we got a ruler and the cardboard and balanced it on the ruler
Next we tied string around the rocket on the mass line a swung it around
and mark were it balance on the rocket.
We did not have to add coins on to the cone. Because our rocket was stable.
The center of mass and center of pressure were 3 cm apart.
