New scratch Build. Flew in January, but due to having only a single launch lug, left the low power pad unstable. Today it flew twice very stable.

Launched, then arced steeply almost 90 degrees then straight into the ground and deployed parachute on the grass. Based on photos, looks like it needed a second launch lug towards bottom of rocket to add more stability coming off the launch rod during ignition. This was subsequently corrected for future flights.
