Sounds like you had a close shave there. I don't think the rocket had anywhere near enough power to keep itself stable.

I like rockets, but they're very unpredictable. And I understand that a neighbour becomes upset when a rocket hits his house.

If that had of been nozled it would have been ok and not ploughed into the roof :unsure: , part of the rockets stability is the thrust of the motor, the only time any of mine have done that is with a really heavy header on but thats my own fault :D

It had a nozzle :D. The BP obviously wasn't powerful enough or the nozzle was the wrong size. Made one hell of a noise though. Sounded incredible, not like a usual firework rocket but something HAMAS might launch at Israel or something. Insane :ph34r:

even with slow BP with the correct nozzle size should have made that lift a fair bit quicker
