Well, I've finally launched one of the printed rockets. Ran into a few issues, though. First, the battery I brought with me wouldn't ignite the engine. So, like any rational human being, I hooked the rocket up to my car. It worked.
It launched smoothly and flew extremely well, even with the high winds. Sadly, the streamer broke free from it's tether and the rocket was free to fall into the parking lot. Only damage was a broken fin. Excuse the language in the video, we got a little excited.
Overall, I'm excited to get going on the electronics side of the project now that the rocket itself has been proven.
