Silverlite 1 Launch

So here it is. After much thought and elbow grease the Silverlite was launched.

I had two unsatisfactory behavior from this launch.
The first one being the launch rod  not firmly secured to the ground. This allowed the rocket to tilt and took off at an angle. I'm also going to make sure my launch lugs are secured and are not flimsy.

Fuel also chuffed. The fuel had some moisture in it and combined with my low kn ratio it was a bit harder to ignite.
