SUCCESS! T' rocket plane roared t' life and made quite t' display. Ya scallywag! Did it survive t' flight? NO. Was it awesome? Absolutely. Next step: stability. This test incorporated centerline thrust, proper balancing, me hearties, an ablative heat shield, arrr, a low friction launch system, ya bilge rat, and a mighty E Estes rocket motor. Avast! T' Rocket Plane project involves mountin' a rocket motor inside an unbelievably light styrofoam airplane, with questionable results.
