    Same. Crowning achievement was modding their small rocket - I think they called it the hummingbird? It looked like a 6 inch Alpha - to take a D motor.

    The launch was glorious, but I never saw that sumbitch again.

    I had one that we could put bugs in and send up. Also had the big bertha. It took off real slow. Even had one that was two stage. Too long ago to remember the names of those.

    I had the two stage payloader and the big Bertha. Also had a tri-tube one that was supposed to look like the SR-71 blackbird. That one flew like crap, I don't think it survived it's first launch. Many crickets were unwilling participants in the Lobster Space Program.

    It’s a light and run like hell option.
    It would launch from the bottom or from the top.
    All depends which went off first
