Great Hairballs of Fire'm going to make a rocket out of the boxes cat litter comes in. Each box is 13.5" tall, 12" wide and 7" deep. I'm going to use 5 boxes. That's about 67" tall. The nose cone will be a wedge. It will have a 38mm mmt and 4 BIG fins. I'm going to put a 3" BT up the middle of the boxes. The fins will be TTW. Apogee for deployment. I'll have to think of a name. Something odd.
Condolences and sorry to hear you've had such a rough time. It's good to hear you're doing better.I haven't built a rocket since August. I had the health scare in a September and started throwing stuff out. My mother died in October. December I continued throwing things out. Got good news in January. I started thinking about rockets. I wanted to do something unique. Not something I have done many times before. I came up with something. I'm going to make a rocket out of the boxes cat litter comes in.

The Christmas Ornament looks like it ought to fly.
Sounds like a fun project to get you back in the game. Since you have no shortage of boxes, what about using a few more as 4 rectangular tube fins?I haven't built a rocket since August.

Be prepared for some pretty crude suggestions.I haven't built a rocket since August. I had the health scare in a September and started throwing stuff out. My mother died in October.

Yes, the thread will be littered with them!!!Be prepared for some pretty crude suggestions.

Just be sure not to use dog barf in that rocket.Those are some great suggestions. Thanks.
Pick any other hobby and find its fraction of the line items. I have to suppose that this is a big importer, so what part of all of Australia's imports are related to any one hobby?Received an email from the Estes importer. They’re having a ‘huge’ sale - more than 2,600 lines (including rockets!)
Great!
So, there are 2,651 lines, 16 of which are rocket related.
Sixteen.
So, 0.6% of items.
Told you LPR was almost unknown in Oz.
Good thing there's at least one domestic manufacturer of kits.
Cat-Man-DooI’ll have to think of a name. Something odd.
Kitty LifterI'll have to think of a name. Something odd.
So is the AU manufacture importing tubes or getting them from the homeland?
