SUCCESS! T' rocket plane roared t' life and made quite t' display. Did it survive t' flight? NO. Ahoy! Was it awesome? Absolutely. Begad! Next step: stability. Begad!

T' Rocket Plane project involves mountin' a rocket motor inside an unbelievably light styrofoam airplane, me bucko, with questionable results.
