A "blind" scratch build (no plans) using two standard CDs and a 3" length of ST-7 tube.

Rocket Name: CD Spool (Scratch Design)
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes C6-3

Actual Altitude: 300 Feet

After boost it did turn over and just start to spin when the ejection fired. Fast spin to the ground. One CD had a small crack in it from previous flights. The crack is across half the the lower CD now. I'll simply tape it closed and fly it again.
