Glue the hole in the side of the pen!! When the propellant reaches that tiny hole it vents and throws the rocket off course.

@thekingofrandom I think I know why those few pens went off at bad angles. I noticed that there is a hole in the sides of those pens as a manufacturing standard. If they were not sealed up tight gas would be forced out that hole on the side messing with the trajectory of the pen rocket. In one of the slow motion clips you can see that happening because of that.

Also, if the straw is placed at the center of balance on the side instead of the bottom of the pen, you will get a more stable launch. Balance the rocket on your finger and place the straw so the middle of the straw is at the center of balance.

I like your idea of the guide straw and fins, usually what I do is I just use a bamboo skewer and use that skewer to cover that hole I just launched them like bottle rockets I really like what they did here though

You might get more consistent results if you tamped (pressed) the powder in with a dowel instead of just pouring it. Air pockets in the poured powder are likely why you get some sputtering and inconsistent burn rates there.

By packing smoke mixture in first the longer burning smoke stage could be triggered after the thrust stage. This might aid visibility and recovery. You could also make a nose cone from the cap that hides a spring and ribbon between the cap and body. Then tie it down with something that will burn away like an elastic or thread that loops past the nozzle and thus secures the recovery system.

Part of your launch stability issue is how small your metal pole is compared to how wide the straw is. It would also help to be around a foot longer and angle your rocket fins in a fashion the maximizes the spin of said rocket :) if you use a metal tube instead of plastic you can pack it down a bit more for more thrust!

Glow sticks are more heavy and it might make the rocket fly in the wrong direction where as an LED is lightweight and it only needs two button cell batteries Plus it can be installed inside the top of the pen since it's quite small of a Circuit also depending on what pen you use and LED can alter the chances of success for the rocket to fly straight up

As has been previously mentioned: glue the small hole. In addition, increase the length of the guide straw to 2", weigh the fins on a gram scale to ensure each weighs the same, and use hot glue sparingly. The lift-off and flight-line will be much straighter. What better way to recycle all those used-up pens! Nice project.
