Just a weird idea...if one were willing to accept a nose cone rather than a flat plate with a spike, for safety reasons...if one were to take one of the free card models of the Mercury capsule available on the net (and doesn't someone do a card version of this capsule set up as a nose cone?) and put a motor in the bottom of the capsule section, and a clear tube up the middle of the escape tower (cutting out the gaps in the card model's escape tower!), with the parachute in the escape rocket, would this arrangement be stable as a model rocket? Maybe it could be the second stage, with a Little Joe or Redstone or Atlas? Maybe I should have arranged my thoughts a bit better before posting, but I think the meaning is just about clear...
