Re: rocket tank [TANKS]

I remember trying to do something like that in my misspent youth. I never could get them to stabilize in flight. Even adding fins didn't help much. I think it was a scaling issue. The engines weren't long enough for the fins to actually do anything but create weird air patterns.

And then one blew up in the launch tube and I decided that from that point on, I'd let my brother light the fuse.
