Step 14Drop away boosters!
These boosters are so easy to make because they are only held on by the upthrust of the bottles.
These drop away boosters are differernt to Air Commands.
For the drop away boosters you will have to make three of the launchers.
Instructions(drop away boosters)
1.measure your drop away booster bottles against your main rocket. Make a mark (dot or line) where the top of the booster meets on your rocket.
2.use pic 1 to help you, where you marked a dot on the booster glue the advanced fins together and stick the bottom of the fins on the marked dot with duck tape or glue. The Advanced fin template is on step 15.
3. test the rocket!

How can i do for fill the boosters?
do i have to put their a valvle each?
and are the boosters gonig to fall down?
if yeah how will i do it ?
thanks for the ideas.
The boosters will fall down when the thrust of the booster can no longer beat the air resistance thus gravity pulling the booster down.
This can be achieved by making three of the launch mechanism's just on one Pad ( two for boosters one for main)
