If you are regarding the flight of the rocket itself, one can record:
1) Maximum Altitude (apogee)
2) Speed
3) Flight time
4) Time to Apogee
5) Acceleration
There are plenty of electronic modules that can record all of this and more that are small enough to fit in a 1" Diameter bodytube.

What happens if you launch a model rocket with no fins?
It Can Cause The Rocket To Spin Out, and/or wobble of course
What would model rocket fuel be described as?
Modern model rocket fuel is a solid fuel.
How does a model rocket go fast?
If You have a powerful engine and light weight material then you could go fast.
What is the difference between model rockets and real rockets?
In a real rocket, there is short a time in atmosphere and the aerodynamics are less important. In a model rocket, all flight in the atmosphere and the aerodynamics are very important. In a real rocket, it has a liquid or solid rocket engine and a large propellant mass fraction. In a model rocket, it has a solid rocket engine and a small propellant mass fraction . In a real rocket, there are four forces during atmospheric flight. In a model rocket, there are four forces throughout flight. In a real rocket, there is a long powered flight . In a model rocket, it has a very short powered flight . In a real rocket, it has passive stability and active control . In a model rocket, it has passive stability and no control. In a real rocket, it has expensive materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy. In a model rocket, it has inexpensive materials such as balsa, cardboard, and plastic. In a real model, there is a high speed and the heating is very important. In a model rocket there is low speed and the heating is not important.
Who invented the model rocket?
He invented the rocket in 1926
Can model rocket fuel be used to make bottle rockets?
"Model rocket fuel" is basically in the form of single-shot engines. You could, I suppose, strap one to a stick and call it a "bottle rocket", but I don't think it would fly very well (and the engine would likely burn off the stick).
What are tailfins on a model rocket used for?
To keep the rocket in straight,stable flight.
How long should the body of a model rocket be?
It depends on what type of rocket you are building.
Can you launch a model rocket in Chicago?
no
Is it still considered a model rocket if you build it yourself?
Yes, it is definitely a model rocket if you build it yourself -that's real ingenuity.
How many engines can a rocket hold?
A model rocket usually only holds one engine. The size of the engine and the amount of thrust that you get from varies. Becoming apart of a model rocket organization can help you determine the right engine for your rocket.
How does a model rocket kill you?
A model rocket could hit you after launch, but the usual death threat is the possibility of a CATO (Catastrophic Failure). This usually results in the motor exploding in some manner which could blow your finger off or kill you according to the motor size. This happens very rarely, but can easily happen if you do not act safely.
