Last week I found a problem with my launcher. When I tried to launch my first rocket, the pressure was not strong enough, even though all my calculations showed that it should have been. Then I found out wh it wasnt working. It was because my non return valve (The valve that keeps the pressure from returning) was not sealed completely. I was not sure how to fix this, but today, I figured out how to do so. By using a mixture of apoxy glue it should be able to keep the valve sealed.

Today I used a simulator to expect how high my rockets should go. I made 2 rockets (both the same) because I will not be using parachutes. Trying to figure out an effective parachute and how it wont effect my height and launch would be to complicated and time consuming. I had to delay my launch this past weekend and move it to the middle of this week.
