The clip at 1:43 has a funny back story. That is an Apollo Saturn V command pod with its LES. The main test of that rocket was to test the abort system. It was uncrewed and after a certain amount of time had passed, the LES was supposed to deploy. HOWEVER; during the construction of the rocket, they crossed a wire with the guidance unit by accident and so the fins imparted a roll to the craft. A roll that eventually made it unstable and rips itself apart. The LES had wires that ran down the whole body of the rocket (both on Saturn V and this test). If a certain amount of the wires lost connection, it would trigger. And it does here. Before the pre-set timer goes off, the rocket is damaged by accident and the LES activates.

you can make standalone ejection charges with a bit of black powder contained somehow and use motors without there own ejection/delay charge. Can even wire a basic circuit up to an altimeter and have it go off at a set altitude. There's even a pretty simple equation to work out exactly how large a charge of black powder a particular rocket design will need to generate the required pressure. To make that even simpler they have online calculators that do it for you now.

Interesting. As an Amateur rocketeer for the last 22 years. I started on small cardboard rockets from a company here in South Africa. I now sell small rockets. On both the modeular rocket and this rocket I noticed you didn't balance the rockets at all, just saying need bigger fins. Each rocket displayed 1 of 2 variables. 1 the modular rocket, the fins on top allowed for weather cocking this it flew stable when going horizontal. 2 the 3 cluster rocket. EISH!! Your CG was either equal or below your CP. Kerbal space game can take a hike. It does not allow for real conditions it seems. It is just a game. Invest in RockSim or the free ware VCP (Vurtual Centre of Pressure) program. But anyways, was fun to watch. FYI I also have an Ender 3, and I use it to produce parts for the kits I sell. Nosecones, and when needed centering rings, fin cans and even body tubes. Only been 3D printing since May this year. But I learned a lot, mostly I learned how much I don't know yet.

Add weight to your nosecone and change your inner fin angles. The issue with this rocket is that your design has probably put your center of mass far below your center of lift (or aerodynamic center if you prefer to call it that). It probably worked okay in KSP because the KSP rocket had a higher center of mass, and KSP does a poor job of modeling body lift. In KSP enough fins at the bottom of the rocket can solve almost anything. Plus, your motors, which are the densest parts of your rocket, are sitting below the fins. Also note that all of your fins other than the two outer fins are partially occluded by the airflow around your rocket body, giving almost no stability in the Y direction. Even the slightest thrust differential (and lets face it, black powder motors are at best within 10% of design) between the two outer motors will rapidly start that Y rotation that kills it every time.

You make one big error in your findings - having the CG and CP farther apart actually makes the rocket MORE susceptible to being knocked off course by wind. CG is your pivot point and CP is where force is applied, so the farther those two points are, the more torque is going to be applied by the same sideways force from the wind. I would suggest making the cluster rocket longer and actually eliminating some fins, going with something like the configuration of the US Rockets Dual 18mm Rear Eject kit.
@jocax188723

To reiterate in KSPspeak: 1) If you want wings and flaps to work while your rocket is slow, better make sure they're big. 2) You want the blue ball way behind the yellow ball on a rocket. The further back the blue ball, the more stable the rocket. The closer the blue ball is to the yellow ball, the more likely your rocket is to going out of control. 3) Not a problem in stock, but if you have wind mods, if your rocket doesn't have the blue ball waaay back during launch, you're screwed. Alternately, remember the core mantra of all KSP players: MOAR BOOSTERS

what you really need to do is just make them LONGER. the primary body of that rocket needed to be 2 to 2.5 times longer. that would go a long way to helping. also. adjust the parts as needed especially the main bodies so you can print them in VASE MODE. use paper tubes up the center for the motors to contain the hot gases and protect the now much thinner parts. IF you wish I might also be able to help you get your printer better tuned for better print quality (most likely just work in the slicer) let me know if you want to do that maybe a coop kind of thing ??

( small rocket was nose heavy). 2. use lower class engines on first lunch and (B6-2) avoid C engines on the first launch. 3. your last rocket was overpowered you had too much thrust to the wight. (Pro tip packing your shot use webbing to protect your recovery system). I had many failers and many great lunches. I build all my rockets from scrach.

I think you're losing your ejection charge in the overlarge rocket body. You need an narrow (right at the motor diameter) internal tube running up from the central motor. Run that tube up to the bottom of the nose cone. Put your parachute in the narrow tube. Basically, you'll have a little rocket wearing your larger rocket, but your parachute should then eject.

There's a free piece of software called Openrocket that will let you build your rockets and input your motor and it will simulate stability, altitude, velocities, etc. It's quite accurate assuming you input your weights and dimensions properly. It can be accurate to 50ft on a 10,000ft altitude flight assuming conditions are right. Also, the way it curled over after takeoff has a name. It's called "weathercocking" and it'll ruin your day without a second thought.

You needed to use a rocket simulation software package to simulate it. The rocket was overstable and you're correct it weathercocked due to the wind. I personally use OpenRocket (free program that uses java to run). There's also RockSim available from Apogee Components, but it's not free. With these programs, you can calculate the delays needed for the flight to be successful and safe. Come join us at The Rocketry Forum and look for K'Tesh (Son of Kraig->Kraigson (get it?)).

O.K., tie a string at the center of gravity and swing it around your head. It's called a 'swing test' to see if the fins are sufficient. Center of pressure should be one caliper (body diameter) behind the center of gravity. If the swing test does show the model streamlining into the flow but wobbles you either add more fin area or more weight to the nose.
