Does anyone have a video a cardstock rocket launch or flight?

Here is an index of posts from blogs about paper and cardstock flying rockets. You can find plans for building them as well as photos of their construction and launches:

From a few years ago: Center Punch

Fins are balsa copied from the Big Daddy pattern, body is one sheet of 8.5"x11" so dia is 8.5"/Pi or about 2.7" D12-5 powered. It has a 24mm through tube and a few centering rings for internal support, also made from cardstock. Because it is relatively light, it really scoots off the pad under D power.

Not sure how to post video, here are some screen shots:

Look up the Little Joe II by Rocket T Coyote

And then go to the ultimate paper rocket site for more cardstock rockets

There's a gentleman in Germany who has created some amazing flying paper rockets. The web site is in German. You can have your browser translate it, but the photos and a few videos tell the story pretty well:

I quite like the look with the display stand. I think it should fly that way. I've built a lot of rockets with conical base drag. They always fly well.

Thanks! I was trying to make the stand look like a rocket plume with Mach diamonds in the core, you know?
You can make your own from the patterns posted here (13mm and 18mm versions):
