Ding, ding ding! The correct answer is "Big Daddy". Now, to figure out how to put a launch lug on it!

Big Daddy and EPM-010?

Big pieces of steam punk pipe on stand offs or launch it from a tower.

Even a launch tower would be tricky with the nacelles. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Ditto

The exterior piping is what really makes it work.

Well, I tried to launch the "Lady Ada" on Saturday, but the launch lug that I glued to one of the fin fillets the night before popped off as I was attaching the igniter clips. I had scratched off the paint and primer of an appropriately sized section of the rocket to attach the lug with epoxy. Unfortunately, I primed and painted the lug separately and forgot to scratch it up as well. As a result, the primer separated from the lug and left a nice little concave section of primer on my rocket and a half-painted lug still on the rod. I didn't bring any epoxy to the field and didn't want to do a(nother) crappy job of it, so the maiden voyage will have to wait for another day.

Bad but better than having the lug pop off during takeoff I guess

Do you think we will be able to see a video of the Lady's first launch?

This is a gorgeous looking rocket. Almost too pretty to fly. I took some pictures, but I think Clair's photos at the beginning of this thread do better justice.
