It's a concept drawing. Does it look stable?

For some unknown reason this just popped into my head: build an LPR (or even MPR) finished to look like bare Sonotube with an orange traffic cone nose cone.

Bonus points for making it a base-drag model with a "bigfoot" cone instead of fins.

Sorry, my brain just does this sort of thing sometimes. Gotta let it out or it'll just jangle around in there causing trouble.

Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder if you think sonatube would make a good looking rocket. Go for it.

Your idea might be interesting especially if you can recreate the HUGE DEEP spiral warp seams.

With the proper nose weight, you can fly just about anything.
