Fish flee in the wake of the newest addition to the Midwest Rock Lobster fleet. He's the fattest (a BT-80 tube) rocket I've built to date. Heaviest, too, if you don't count a couple of rockets I never launched because I found out after I'd built them they were too heavy to fly on a C engine, the biggest they'd hold. Well, one was marginally possible, but it folded on its final swing test.
Mr. Creosote weighs in at 6.6 oz empty, 7.5 oz with a C6-3 motor. Thor's Candycane, the only peer he has is over twice as tall but weighs almost an ounce less, 5.7 oz without motor.
I suppose I should have painted bits of food onto Mr. Creosote, but I didn't. So here you see the rocket freshly arrived at the restaurant, ready to puke on waiter's feet and antisemitic cleaning lady's backs.
