I built another of Greg Poehlein's cardstock rockets.
Sorry Greg, it's not your Alpha - yet! Thanks for another great plan:

That MMX Zoom Broom is tiny!
I had an original Estes Goonybird Zoom Broom way back. I think the MMX version flew just as well and almost as high!
The body tube is very short. I filled the plastic nose cone with 3/4 full of clay and it still "coned" a bit during boost. But, it was a vertical flight and will fly again!
The last picture shows the comparison length between a Bob Harrington designed MMX Goony Baka and this Zoom Broom. I think Bob may have extended the body for a tad more stability.
