I see a new invention on stage 2. I heard it discussed many times but never built before now. This is the air chamber outside the water chamber on the side of the rocket. This is what I think I see. There are bottles with no mouth on the bottom of the top stage. There sees a manifold of pipes on the top of the rocket. Am I correct? This is very cool! I am very impressed with your rocket Batkiter!
