This is my scratch built upscale of the Estes Baby Bertha which I call "Big Baby Bertha". All did not go well on this launch. On the first go round, the igniter shorted out due to the traffic on adjacent pads so I had to reconnect the leads and wait for the next launch attempt. During the boost, the chute tangled with rocket resulting in a bad landing on top of car. Fortunately, no damage to rocket or car. Rocket Science: Making everything else look simple since 1958.
