Nice design. Has that Estes Avenger look to it...

Have you double-clicked on the simulation results to see the Launch Guide Data in the full summary? The C11 and D12 need a 48" rod, rail, or tower to reach safe flight V, while the E9 needs more than 60 inches of guide length.

OTOH, if you're willing to beef up the recovery components and reef the chute, try upping the engine power to dual E18, E28, or E30. All three of these need less than 30 inches of guide (a much better "get-up-and-go"), and punch it to 1600'...
