Anyone upscale an Estes Big Daddy...

... to something L3 size, 11", 12", dia or better?

Polecat Thumper (or super Thumper, or whatever the 10" version was) looked pretty close...

Then they did a 16" or 20" version... (heheheheheh)

Thanks, cool, looks like the stretched it some and added a tail cone of sorts.

Thanks, Kenn, exactly what I was looking for. I'm having a hard time choosing between up scaling a Big Daddy OR a Red Flare.

Interesting project. What happened to the minimum diameter idea?

It was never going to be true min-dia anyway and I really wanted to do a big rocket that did not require lots of expensive airframe.

There was some guy years ago. RocDoc or something like that? He was building a pretty BIG BIG DADDY! It was like 30" diameter or something crazy like that?

I've pretty much decided on a the Red Flare. So far have not come across anyone that has up scaled that rocket.
