That event would be much more fun than lofting a generic metal slug.

Lee, The first time I ever saw that fin attachment method was at NARAM-19, Kansas City, 1977 . . . Gary Rosenfield was the builder and it was a minimum-diameter rocket, flown on an "undisclosed motor" during the Manufacturer's Demo. Whatever the motor was, the orange-ish flame was longer than the rocket, with highly-visible mach diamonds, and the rocket "disappeared in an instant" off the pad at ignition . . . G. Harry Stine was "having a conniption fit", as RSO . . . LOL ! Jerry Irvine calls that method the "Interlap Attach" in his "Advanced Information Report # 10" / " Advanced Construction Methods" ( AIR-10 ). ( Image below ). Dave F. . .
