Just noticed that minimum diameter 18mm to 13mm two stage rockets tend to look like real sounding rockets:

And if you fly it with A8-0 to 1/2A3-4 it looks like it goes about 150m, which might mean you could find it again afterwards.
Or do C6 to 83, go above 400m and wonder what happened.
That is one I would love to have a rocksim or ORK file for. I would 3d print that.flying broomstick.

If you do then you gotta design some appropriate texture into the brush.That is one I would love to have a rocksim or ORK file for. I would 3d print that.
Wondering if a cheap grass skirt would work? Maybe not, as the cone flare would spread the fibers.If you do then you gotta design some appropriate texture into the brush.

Using real straw would be a PITB.
It is both amusing and disturbing that you know this. Yeah, call me politically incorrect.Witches' brooms are frequently made from twigs, not straw, and might not really be so hard.

Sounds more or less like the original Brothers Grimm. My grandma sent us a book of the original Grimm stories for our kids when they were young. We took a look through and quietly put the book in the donate box. We didn't need the nightmares.Apologies for the tangent, but does anyone know the stories of Baba Yaga? A witch that lives in a hut that walks around on chicken legs (called Izbushka) looking for bad Russian children to cook in her stew? She flies around in a mortar that she drives with a pestle, and uses a broom to sweep up the tracks behind her. Happy little children's bed time stories they aren't.
Use a fly-away rail guide and mini buttons...Launch lug placement is gonna be a real witch!
Option might be a pass through the fin can right next to the main tube (broom stick.) I used something like this on Tank Killer, which used a toilet tank ball float as a nose. It really helped that I was able to connect the forward and aft holes in the float with a soda straw, so the rod when threaded through the aft hole was guided right to the forward hole.
Yes, it would have to be a custom design. If I could ever bring my skills up to par, I would build a OpenSCAD customizer to create such. Alas, so much to do, so little time...It would have to be a fly-away rail guide with a stand-off distance. If you know where to get those, please do tell, as I need that for a different rocket. I've been expecting I had to design and make it.
Orrrrrrrr..... do something ridiculous, like make a clip-on dust pan attachment that can provide the launch lugs, or flies away like a rail guide.

Number 1: easy.Ignorant people (in this case me, regarding 3D printers) often make ridiculous suggestions, but what the heck.
if you were to 3D print the whole fin can unit, how hard would it be to
1. include a pass through launch lug in the design (as a minimum, lined up holes at forward and rear ends, you can connect them with a straw later)
2. Implement @neil_w ‘s suggestion of texturing the outer surface with @jqavins ’s twigs?
