Toilet Paper Roll Rocket

To kick this blog off, I have a little budget rocketry.  This is the Lou Lou Rocket 7 (named after my wife Mandy Lou), also known as the "Toilet Paper Rocket."  As you can imagine, the body tube of this rocket is made out of a cardboard toilet paper tube.  Here is the design:

In order to keep this rocket dirt cheap, the nose cone is made out of rolled card stock and masking tape.  The motor mount is also made out of card stock and masking tape.  My fins will be made out of balsa, but if you are really on a tight budget they could be made out of cardboard.  I am waiting for my balsa to arrive so that is why there are no fin pictures.

There are a few known issues with this rocket.  The design is slightly over stable at 4.21 cal. which means that the rocket should not be flown in high winds as it will tend to weathercock. 
Here are some componate pitures.  I am waiting for my balsa to arrive so that is why there are no fin pictures.
