I still haven't decided whether to build this or not. But it popped into my mind today, probably because I'm thinking about flying my Estes Mean Machine at the next LUNAR launch. I got to thinking about the upscale. Since the Mean Machine's nose cone pops out at ejection, instead of it separating elsewhere, it might be cool if the upscale did the same thing. That would mean a stuffer tube all the way to the top body tube section, and probably a bigger ejection charge. Just thinking out loud here.

That would be sweet to see :jaw: Looks like you have some nice motor choices there as well.
The stuffer tube and all of those extra centering rings should also keep this 12 foot monster from folding itself in half under accelleration as well.
If you need an enabler to make this happen, just let me know. Willing to offer all of the encouragement needed.:clap:
