MarkB has a good ideer there.
Something around J-Power would be a nice Touch-O-MAYHEM.
A reel-wing-rippor.
Have I mentioned I find others' MENACING flights quite entertaining ?

Flight two in the tri cities was nearly perfect.

I was glad to be at the TCR launch and saw Frank's Titan/Dynasoar fly twice, the Jupiter-C fly twice (the second time bouncing off the luggage rack on top of my car as it landed) and the Titan II as well. All really impressive flights. On both Dynasoar flights Frank brought the Dynasoar itself back to a landing quite close to the pads in the gravel of one of the inter-circle access roads. Nice!

I also saw one of the two big Interceptor rocket glider flights. That was another really cool flight from the Skidmark boost through to the RC-guided soft landing just behind the mid-power pads.

The scale is close to 1/12 scale...

here's the third or fourth flight

Just out of curiosity, what scale, more or less, is your DynaSoar?

My January/February Sport Rocketry arrived today, and what should I see inside but Frank's DynaSoar/Titan in a feature story (starting on page 30). Cool!

I've been flying my full stack Titan II/DynaSoar for a while, had two flights this weekend.
It was extremely windy, 10mph constant with gusts to 17 or so.

Here is a combined video showing flight 8 first which was nominal and flight 7 afterward.

Flight 8 I pitched the model upwind and then held full up on the glider control to keep the nose up and slow the stack down till ejection of the glider.

Flight 7 is the second flight shown which I did not steer on the way up thinking it would weathervane into the wind, however it went slightly downwind, you can see how it did not eject at apogee and when I determined it was likely in a death dive, I tried to steer it level to minimize damage, it hung there for a second or two then finally ejected and nothing was damaged.
