Decked out Rocket (video added)

Description

This Rocket Is Designed To Carry The Payload Of An Egg And Calculate It'S Own Max Height. Fits A C-Class Engine. Uses An Adxl 345 Accelerometer Ran By An Arduino Pro Mini And A 3.7V Rc Car Battery To Measure It'S Own Height. Accelerometer Records Steadily In Z Axis Only Because It Sits Inside The Gimbal. Sand Paper On Tip Is To Reduce The Drag Coefficient (See Related Photo). The Egg Added A Little Too Much Weight To The Tip. Once It Was Removed It Flew Like A Beauty.
