I agree with the earlier posts. BT-60 sized rockets around two feet tall are perfect for smaller fields.

Many of the models I've produced were designed with small fields in mind. I hate to lose rockets.
Check out the Break-Away model.

Scroll down to the lower left.

It launches vertically, and breaks apart into six tethered pieces at ejection. It'll get more altitude than a Bertha style rocket, and your spectators will get a surprise recovery.
It falls horizontally with very little drift.
