Bones post of rocket launches led me to this clip. This guy uses a piece of cyclone fence to make a launch surface for 8500 bottle rockets. There are several flavors of this same idea on the YT. This is one of the clearer looks into how to make it go. I like the idea and am looking into doing something similar. I think that you could be a little more creative with your fuzing so that it would start slow then take off to insanity.
