11March update
Yesterday, I made the first launch of the smaller, lighter-weight Space Rocket with a more powerful C5-3 engine. The sight of the powered flight phase into blue sky was fantastic. The chute was minimally heat-sealed from the ejection charge and failed to open completely during recovery. Surprisingly, the top of the extended recovery tube on the rocket airframe was cracked by the force of the shock cord snapping tight after the nosecone was jettisoned. I will be thickening up the top corner of the tube in the CAD model and I will post the stronger part to Cults3D in a day or two. You can see the video of the launch on YouTube at:
