Anything past 40960 N-s becomes a Class 3 rocket and the FAA process is much more involved. I'm not sure if NAR lets you fly anything like that, much less cert with it....but your not limited to a single "O" (40,960) are you?

Just now seeing Mark's Reply, thx, very interesting. So Tripoli picks up @ P?
4.9.1 The maximum liftoff weight of a high power rocket
shall not exceed one-third (1⁄3) of the certified average thrust
of the high power rocket motor(s) intended to be ignited at
launch.
4.9.2 A high power rocket shall be launched with any combination
of motors having 40,960 N-sec (9209 lb-sec) of total
impulse or less.
That's an amazing video. The rocket just sort of... floated off the rail.In theory yes - in reality here's what an O25000 did for a 600LB rocket. Something 3x as heavy would be 1/3 the altitude.
