God, that thing's huge! Why didn't you fin-stable-ize it?
Here's the robot with the microcontroller I'm looking to use as a Flight Control System.
This is the setup I have so far. Sorry for the quality; it was taken on my iPhone. AA battery for size comparison

Not pictured are the
four Micro Servos, the
Accelerometer, and the
GPS Locator. Of course, I'm not going to jump right in and build such a complex machine just yet-- I plan to make some simpler models to get back into the swing of things.
My questions are:
Is it possible to launch in a field with 2-4 inches of icy and brittle snow?
Will a normal D/E engine be able to support such a large rocket, or will I have to switch to plugged engines?
What sort of wind conditions will significantly affect a rocket's flight path, and how do I compensate?
