Did another today. I didn't have another bottle rocket to pull a fuse out of, so I used nichrome wire and a car battery. Painted it for visibility this time. For some reason, the 1.5oz of black powder and sparkler dust didn't go off when the chute charge went- I know because I found some of it left in the nosecone. Odd. Nosecone was recovered again, so I may do yet another.
Disclaimer: I wouldn't be doing this so irresponsibly if it weren't for the massive rain we've had recently. Chance of a fallen rocket starting a fire is almost nil.
