This is called a stinger missile. They are quite easy to build. They are different from other rockets in that instead of a stick or fins to stabilize them they are gyroscopicly stabilized by the spinning of the rocket which is why the fuse comes out the side. I used black powder as a propellant. It was quite windy when I blew it off which is why it goes to the side after clearing the launch pin. I am still trying to get this perfected as I am just starting out in rocketry but I thought I would share this.
