I considered something more powerful, but you know, one of the most memorable rockets I had as a kid was my Maxi-Brute Honest John. Yeah, it barely lumbered off the pad under a D12-3, and there was that sometimes sick feeling in the pit of your stomach while you waited for the chutes to barely open just in time (they always did), but I loved it. It was always a crowd pleaser, I think because you could easily watch the whole flight close up. It was a real polar opposite to my desire to put the biggest engine I could fit into the smallest rocket approach.
