2 stage water rocket and single stage QRS Feb launch

Feb update on 2 stage Water Rocket
Had some success with bugwubber clamp working and radial deploy success.
Very low altitude on second stage launch. Drogue was supposed to pull a main chute out but failed.
Second stage chute failed to deploy. Not sure why. Second stage suffered fatal damage.
Hoping to complete a new rocket with drop away boosters and a second stage on top for the April QRS launch.

Then had fun with single stage rockets made from 70mm WATER bottles (not Soda).
Nice straight flights except the first one snapped off the chute but amazingly it glided back to the ground without any damage.. Lucky day.

Next 2 launches went fine.
