I like to try and make sport models look like scale models.
What kind of rockets do you like?

I am drawn to split-fin designs...not sure why, but I just love the way they look! I'm also into electronics, so I'm starting to get the bug for multiple stages and instrumentation, but my local field has a pretty low ceiling. That also leads me to enjoy "big dumb ones" too.

I like scratch building rockets for specific missions. (Camera, staged, clustered, night flight, electronic payload, high power certification, etc.)

I can relate to that. Even with HPR stuff I did in the 90s, it was "Big Bertha" flight profiles I enjoyed. I wanted to see every Newton-second I paid for.
A minimum diameter build to me meant -- for any given motor, what is the minimum diameter I can safely use to make sure I see the rocket for its entire flight ...

Mostly scale stuff but that doesn't stop me from pulling the trigger on random designs that look cool. Upscales of old favorites are pretty great, too.

Yes !!!!
Maybe if 2018 LDRS is close enough I might be able to convince certain Michiana members to fly it again....

Decent size rockets with motors sized for the field and weather conditions. I like to get them back.
Occasionally, a fire and forget such as a 4 stage F15 rack rocket

Big, dumb rockets that go fast and that I can see both in the air and on the ground.
