"In series.., thats the ticket, its all coming back now, like throwing away the experiment book that came with the chemistry set, or making some real rockets when rocketry was rocketry ;)"

When I was in high school, I knew some folks who made modifications to models rockets that would send the ATF into a tizzy. As it is, I have ideas on how to turn a stock model rocket into a guided rocket...I haven't acted on the designs because I do not care to go to federal prison.

Back then you did not have to go very far at all to get into 'beyond Estes' mail order rocketry getting motors that would take a good sized rocket to 20k' Some were single stage others were 2 staged, some had several motors in each stage.

Now that you mention it, it would be to easy. But I like you don't feel the need to 'prove a point' LOL.

Hey I also designed and built a hand launched balsa glider (carved and sanded the wing out of 1/4" balsa) and had it trimmed to fly counter clockwise in high velocity, and clockwise 'in cruise'.

I only got one flight out of it because it caught the ever slightest of a thermal and never came back. I followed it for approx a mile till it went out of sight ;)
