I think the flammable nature of the entire structure is something of a logistical oversight, but will nevertheless make for one hell of a good show.

Exactly. Once it reaches the Charge at the top of the engine, it will catch fire and make a wonderful Building-Burning Firework. Maybe I should coat it in hairspray before it goes up. A rough sketch, viewed from the bottom. | | |

The "engines held by glue" is particularly reassuring. What you should do is construct a reservoir out of an easily burned or melted substance (like a styrofoam cup), attach it to the inside of the tube, and fill it with a highly flammable liquid. Nail polish remover or something.

Chus, the whole thing is going to just bounce itself off of the ground and then catch fire. You do realize this, right?

Unless it starts your house or car or someone else's on fire, sure.

I'm just picturing the face of the football coach when he sees the burned reckage all over his charred field.
