First day of construction

We accomplished a lot on our first day of constructing our rocket.  As you can see in the blueprint above, we used the trapezoidal fins that point downward because we read that that they were good for cutting through the air and had great aerodynamics.  We also used the big fins because we read that they were better for guiding the rocket then smaller ones.  You can see that the fins are reasonably big and they almost reach the top of our rocket.  We hope to do good on our test launch tomorrow.
