  You could launch the rocket from a larger model airplane, ignite the rockets and then land with the parachute.

  As a rocketeer of over 25 years, watching your endeavours is entertaining.<br>Seeing you avoid what I would regularly use is also entertaining.<br>I use avionics to deploy my parachutes.<br>They work not on delay, like a timer, but on air pressure. Detecting a decrease and activating the ejection charge.<br>Can be installed in the nosecone to add weight to the rocket to move the CG forward.

  check what the world record for the fastest model aircraft is... clue... it doesnt have a jet engine, propeller or rocket... its powered by the wind and gets into the transonic regime.

  That ain&apos;t a rocket, that&apos;s a ballistic missile

  The bit of you yelling &quot;Eject! Eject!&quot; with the rocket turning around and crash landing reminded me so much of the Top Gear Reliant Rocket episode.

  You could have done a swing test to determine stability...<br>Right from NASA...<br>There is a relatively simple test that you can use on a model rocket to determine the stability. Tie a string around the body tube at the location of the center of gravity. (Be sure to have the parachute and the engine installed.) Then swing the rocket in a circle around you while holding the other end of the string. After a few revolutions, if the nose points in the direction of the rotation, the rocket is stable and the center of pressure is below the center of gravity. If the rocket wobbles, or the tail points in the direction of rotation, the rocket is unstable. You can increase the stability by lowering the center of pressure (increase the fin area) or by raising the center of gravity (add weight to the nose.)

  I built the Estes model of the X15 back in the 80s before it was recalled for &apos;impact hazard&apos;
