Motor eject (with a streamer taped on) can also make it tumble slower.BTW: I am one who believes tumble recovery is fine. If you build it correctly, and it is odd enough (;-}) you don't need a chute and it will be even better.
For the odd little beasts I sometimes just connect everything with shock cord and break it apart in the air. Physics does its thing and it all comes down like flotsam. Here is one that really works well with that concept (which, now that I look at it, is representative of Christmas, too, sort of...:Motor eject (with a streamer taped on) can also make it tumble slower.

Yeah. D motor at least. However, it doesn't need to go high.Ooh, 18"...not so small lol
300 foot extension cord extra. Seriously, though, that could make a great night rocket. It would require some electronics to power the lights but it would be cool.I'm going with this cute Lil guy...about the same price with coupon and it's already decorated and has lights!

The lights are powered by 3 AA batteries, so a small lipo should work well enough.300 foot extension cord extra. Seriously, though, that could make a great night rocket. It would require some electronics to power the lights but it would be cool.
I grew with canned cranberry sauce. As a married adult my wife made "real" cranberry sauce from real cranberries, I didn't know what it was. I liked the jellied can style better, complete with the ridges left over from being in the can!For the odd little beasts I sometimes just connect everything with shock cord and break it apart in the air.

Yup your right ..
Mine is supposed to arrive on Sunday... we'll see!Ordered the tree but Amazon came back with problems and then had a delivery date that would make it uncomfortable to get it done before Christmas. Will visit HL and get a sub.

To be honest, using a Christmas tree is MUCH harder than I had thought given the stupid metal wire trunk right down the middle, the funny base and the wonky tip.
I even brainstormed using 3 BT5 tubes with transitions to a single tube on both sides to send the ejection charge to the top. Ummm...probably needlessly complicated and not for now.
I was at Hobby Lobby today and they had 60% off Christmas stuff...spotted some potential rocket projects!
These have lights!
They had this size at my HL. Kinda cool and would make a great night launch. Takes two AAA but overall it is not terribly heavy - 104 grams with batteries. I might gut this one and make it fly as a rocket in itself. However, as a nose on a night rocket it has possibilities.I was at Hobby Lobby today and they had 60% off Christmas stuff...spotted some potential rocket projects!

Smaller version too.

These may be too easy...

Mini plastic trees that light up!

Yup, that's my secondary attempt one. What I especially like about it is that the lights are very easily removed and actually very "light" and can be used in the regular tree rocket.They had this size at my HL.
