This instructable needs to be removed! Launching a rocket motor without any stablization and recovery system is an uncontrolled weapon!!!! It is also prohibited my all model rocket safety codes. It may also be ilegel in most jurisdictions.

I know that there are ways to stablize it. My point was that it lacked any stablization or recovery system as presented in the Instructable.
