I'll be honest, F for cheating. I think it is important for each person to earn their own grades. Now if you asked, what if you were taking his class, then we can talk.

Most school competitions have rules to make it fair too. Things like bottle type, volume, nozzle size (usually to fit on the "school launcher" or to prevent someone with deep pockets from "buying the trophy").

Learning should be the most important thing and having someone build a rocket for you defeats that purpose.

Now if you worked together and you shared your knowledge about rockets while he did the work it might be a different story.

You also could get the permission of the teacher to launch your rocket at their launch day as a "demonstration".
