How can I build a model rocket?

I would like it to go about 300 feet and I will be using C engineI want to make it all, could I make it out of cut up soda cans, then roll up the aluminum tighter for the body?

Answer:

i use aluminum sound is great i feel it well when im playing haha choose the right material according to your boyfriend's comforability that's the secret of the BEST.
metals like brass are not compounds but simple mixtures and lack a specific crystal structureThe expansion of Al or Cu would depend upon the particular form (or cyrstalline shape) of the materialThis is determined by the temperature and pressure of the metal when it solidifiedThere are phase diagrams or pressure temperture graphs that show this data that you can find in materials science3 booksBrass, however, is a misture of tih and copper so it is most likely to expand the most and to have the lowest melting point because there are no chemical bonds betweem the Sn and Cu.

Aluminum cans would be difficult to work withUse toilet paper rolls, or paper towel rolls for the bodyYou can roll a nose cone out of card stock, and use cardboard (like from the back of a legal pad) to cut the centering rings and fins out ofFind an old set of wiper blades, and use the metal strips to cut a motor hookAfter that, you just need to get some elastic for a shock cord, and something for a parachuteAnother good body tube is a hollowed out Pringles canI used Pringles cans and the other items listed above to make a D powered rocket, and it turned out great!
