I took some pieces I had laying around and I made an awesome looking rocket.
I put in an Estes C6-3 rocket engine. It didn't fit but I made it fit. I knew this was going to be good for some laughs.
I've built rockets in the past, but I always go for performance instead of making it look good. This time I knew that the extra weight of all the fins would cut the performance. I thought the fins would help keep the rocket stable. Here's what happened.

I stopped filming before the ejection charge ignited, but when it did, it blew off the nose cone and shot it into the ground. It was completely underground. I had to did it up. LOL
I guess I should stick to building them for performance only.
