Hey, Brent,

Did ya ever use a piece of PVC pipe for a "mobile launcher"? We... uh, I mean somebody I know...uh...saw one time... I mean heard about had one with a cap on the end and a slot for dropping the rocket in, with an improvised side mirror mount. Also, "I've heard" some people make much more reliable rockets from the Estes model rocket motors and about a 16" piece of 1/8" dowel rod with plastic or cardboard tube to turn the motor into a "rocket", holding about a tablespoon of flash powder (aluminum powder and potassium perchlorate)...uh...or so I'm told, anyway...
