Also, I noticed that your rocket flew straight for a few hundred feet, then went sideways while under thrust. This is very dangerous. While that may have just been caused by high-altitude winds, it's also possible that your motor blew the nozzle or your fins weren't attached solidly and ripped off at high speeds. Tip: large, winglike fins+ big motor = through the wall fin tabs.

Other than that, good luck and may your rockets never run afoul of power lines!

Is your rocket's center of gravity at least 1 caliber ahead of its center of pressure? (this can be tested by tying a string around the rocket at the center of gravity and swinging it around: if it tumbles or points backwards your rocket is unstable and you need to add weight in the nose cone.

Is your launch rod long enough? I'll just say: use one. At least 3 feet, but 5 feet is preferably for mid-power. If your rocket is too slow off the pad it may arc over, strip the chute and crash.

In addition, you appear to have used propellant with titanium sponge, judging by the sparks and thick black smoke. While I know there wasn't dry grass nearby, you should still always have a fire extinguisher handy when using those motors, as the sparks can start fires. Also, check with your local rocket club on the legality of sparky motors; in some jurisdictions, they are illegal or require high-power certification to purchase. Finally, please check the following:

Dear Hyenas: a very good start in the exciting hobby of model rocketry! However, you obviously need help. For a start, using boiling water as an ignition system is unreliable and unsafe. I recommend electric ignition for best results. Also, that motor was at least a D class. It is unsafe to be less than 30 feet from a motor of this impulse during launch. Again, please use electric ignition; you can easily ignite your rocket from a safe distance provided you have long enough wires.
