I built one and its so cute I've had no desire to launch (lose) it.

The Blue Bird Zero was one of my favorites as a kid. This one will probably just be a display paperweight.
 
Launch video:


It went higher than I expected.
The nose popped off but the laundry stayed inside.
Might be too much internal volume for the ejection charge.

What with the nose popping off the rocket would not be stable, so a lawn dart isn't in the picture and I can't imagine those tiny rockets weigh enough that they can't pretty much rely on feather-weight recovery.

Nice flight, maybe it is the size but they really look as if they leave the rod with speed.
