There is something special about a well spiked cylinder shell that’s lifted by a rocket, very nice indeed Paul.

Thinking about it, this would be an ideal application for the old Jetex reloadable motor!
I used Jetex motors on cars made of balsa wood, had them tethered to a fixed line to run in a circle.
Not a lot of thrust from these motors, so light car and nice smooth surface to run on. I chose the school hall to do the test run when nobody was about, started off nice and slow but after about the third lap the speed was so great it pulled over the lab support stand and went flying in to the wall, the place was full of smoke. I was never found out!

1lb core burners are very good work horse for lifting a multitude of effects.
I know how you are feeling right now
Did you use a top plug?

It seems that Kimbolton doesn't like bad publicity and are using bully boy tactics to me.

Well I had a go at making a flying saucer for your amusement,
I used Firefiend's dimensions for the Spitfire and made up a cone former for the casing with three or four turns of heavy craft paper.
The first was made with basic fountain mix with some Aluminium in the last third and a pinch of titanium at the end ,this slowed it up some.
The second one was using different charcoal with whistle mix right at the end which promptly blew out the casing.
They were all suspended from the middle on 24”of string.Flying Saucer
