How about something similar to Pem Tech's 3FNC? Perhaps "steampunk" it up a little bit? Just a thought.

A prototype U.S. Rockets kit or 4. Use the cone over and over on several variants. Get your name in the instructions forever and ever. Get free motors to test them.

Now, that's a suggestion.

I got mine from BMS. Pretty nice! 34" tube.
I lawn darted mine the weekend before 9/11. It almost skewered a car. The car owner thought it would have been cool if it had. He was a good guy to launch with, but we never saw him again.
