The Estes Mean Machine.
Standing at over 6' tall, this is the largest rocket I have ever launched and my first rocket rated for E engines. Brett and I decided to get some model rockets while we waited for certain parts to go flying rc planes.

The first launch went perfectly except for a fin tearing off. A quick dab of superglue fixed that, but over-compensating for wind on the second launch caused this bad-lad's demise.

It went about 200' in the air before going totally horizontal. Horizontal = no slow down, which = cone popping off, parachute catching and a large amount of force tearing the elastic cable in half ^^ The body, as you can see at about 1:44, coasts down at a fairly slow rate while the cone/parachute traveled over half-a-mile and landed in the top of a tree in some bloke's yard. In the end I decided to just buy a new one off of Amazon. It's only 20$, after all XD

Was going to upscale to 1080p but it looked like crap ^^
