Here is a canted, tractor motored, telescoping model rocket called Jack-in-the-Box. This is a take off on the tapeworms I have flown before. Two 29mm F-15's are legal (120g) and should provide plenty of punch. The conical hat will be the recovery device so hopefully that will help in getting by the RSO table. The tail will telescope off the pad providing even more lovely stability as the heavy tractor motors go up and the CP gets dragged down as the head leaves the 6' lubed rod and the telescoping tail deploys. Kind of similar to a really messed up Duces Wild, at least that argument might help me get a pad assignment. The telescoped tail should also count as a recovery device. . .Right? Just another freaking, no good mindsim. The CG is up there but where is the stinking CP? Will it work? Flexible, telescoping tails belong on kites, not rockets. . .Right? Motor and fins belong at the bottom of the rocket! 100% Silicone adhesive is for bath tubs, not rockets! Yes, please talk some sense into me!
At least it will be a quick build using a Hobby Lobby foam ball, googly eyes, party hat, stickers and mostly scrap rocket parts.
Could go three 24mm?
Or should it be a foam skull wearing a pickelhaube with vertebrae for Halloween? Maybe that will be the follow on build if Jack-in-the-Box works and is accepted as kid tested, mother approved by the Pad Fuhrer.
