Only Shout, Yodel, and ZexGX have provided any serious suggestions.
No kaboom for you.

My suggestion was serious. I want to see a flying Xbox 360.

What do you actually consider a serious request? When it comes to rockets, all they can really do is blow stuff up, propel stuff, or propel itself through stuff.

Could you take a picture of one though? I wanna see its size before I make a suggestion.

I'll have pictures of the engine and custom skirt on sunday, going kayaking today.

A serious request is one I can actually carry out. Making an Xbox 360 fly would take at least 4 of my D12-7 rocket engines, and a hugeass rocket body to handle the payload. I'm looking for something easy and quick, like attaching an A class motor to a matchbox car (Don't have any spare A's, sorry). For srs, it either has to be something small that flies vertical, or something small that rolls/slides horizontally.

I should have said this in the first post, but I would have assumed that you'd notice that the engines I'm using aren't even the size of your thumb.

The R/C car is a good suggestion, I'll see if I can find one.

Build a companion cube out of cardboard, strap rockets on it.

Get some heavy-duty gloves, and light the rocket, and see if you can hold it back.

If one can't propel a 360, you can certainly hold it back.

Throw it in your fireplace and observe with an open mind.

I found a pinewood derby car, specifically the classic batmobile, in my attic. The only problem is that these engines I'm using are huge compared to the car, so the car wouldn't roll, it would fly around everywhere.

My suggestion was serious as well... (first half at least).

You assumed that we knew what a D12-7 is? A Letter and a Number dash Number Rocket engine...well hot darn. :roll: :P
