Unless you have an obscene amount of instant force and a massively heavy NC, this ain't gonna happen. Paper is stronger than you think it is..
Senior, you seem to be overthinking a lot of this, then jumping to conclusions based on your personal life experiences. (you then try to challenge some of us despite the experience & knowledge we have & are trying to impart to you)
- Stop. slow down.
- Stop trying to learn all this in a week-end.
- Get & read Harry Stine's book: Handbook of Model rocketry. (this alone will answer a lot for you!) Also get the few new books on High power rocketry.
- Get a few kits & build them, buy a few from different vendors / manufacturers. See what each does, what they do differently, what they do the same. Doing this alone will teach you a great deal.
- launch these! You should soon be able to predict their flight, delay required, estimated altitude, speed, etc.. (Most kits will tell you most of this on the kit face-card)
- Join a club, start looking at what others have done. Start asking them why they did what they did..
- Only then can you start to get an understanding of why things are they way they are, why they work the way they do, and most of all (in your case) why the funky space age science fiction rocket flies higher than the plain ole Patriot kit (or visa versa)
