I was always proud of "Retroactive" - scratch 2.2" rocket with an old school font for the name. Colors were pearl teal and white.

And while Die Hard was a great holiday movie - my all-time favorite is Christmas Vacation.

1: Three Seconds to Rush (my highpower two stage rocket)
2: Piledriver (because thats what the Bullpup I had as a kid did).
3: The screen that shows burning logs for a month straight.

I named my L2 rocket MEGABLAST. That is actually an appropriate name especially when I flew that rocket with AMW 38mm J500 loads. That motor was LOUD.
2.What’s a good name for the bull pup rocket?
Golden BB
3. What’s your favorite holiday movie?
Hmm. Good Question. Christmas Carol Maybe? Oooo. I know. It's a "Wonderful Life" is a good one.

I made a clone of a Centuri Thunder Roc (similar to a Mean Machine) made from empty paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls for couplers. I called it Northern Bounty.

Nipper (the RCA Victor dog) the fins have a resemblance to his ears, sort of. And that little missile will home in on you and seek you out with a dogged determination just like he is focused on his masters voice!

the Heat Miser/Cold Miser movie, it’s just “Too much!”

Hi

[GlenP]

Northern Bounty. Now that's funny. How did it hold up?

Pretty well, it can handle 24mm D power, the couplers add some strength, but I wouldn’t say that it could handle the toughest spills any better than the leading brand. I made a decal based on the vintage logos:
