When I discuss my rockets with someone, they invariably ask "what's your biggest rocket?"

So how does everyone define what a "biggest" rocket is? :confused:

Largest Diameter?
Tallest?
Heaviest?
Largest motor?
Highest altitude?
Other factors?

An equation of sorts?
(B X ((D/2)**2 x 3.14 X L)) + (A X Square root (motor size * altitude (in K feet) )) + BS factor/Weight
Your variables (A, B) may vary.... :p
 
Well, I tend to tell them 3. My Formula 75 (fattest) my darkstar jr (tallest) and my Loc Onyx (fastest).
 
Heaviest, then if they express interest, I give them the relevant details.

Tallest. Seems the easiest for most folks to grasp. Then if they are interested I'll go more into detail about motor size etc...

Overall length and girth...

Give both dimensions, let them soak it in.
