Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

This all sounds fantastic..but I'm worried that if I do actually acheive a decent amount of height and speed, the device could explode nowhere near the launch pad. I have horrible visions of dousing some poor OAP's thatched roof in liquid fire, and the subsequent local news stories that would follow.
I guess we could blame terrorists.

I like this a lot, but there is one thing to learnThe thrust from your single rocket is tiny, hence the thing falling out of the sky. You need to double or treble the first stage. Otherwise you will have it hovering about at ground level until the final explosion. Good luck, wear goggles and post the video here.
