One of my model airplanes would work fine and we could use a predator
drone for bigger huts.

Are you into RC, Jon?

Not any more.. too expensive and not enough time. Started with rockets when
I was in grade school... we took out a window in an apartment building in
Chicago once... :-)

It was an ICBM.

Kewl. I set a warehouse on fire with a free-flight model airplane when I
was 12.

I had a camera that fit in one of the rockets, and we used to take pictures
but that got boring. So, we started our own astronaut program... crickets
and bugs and stuff, then we convinced one of the girls in the neighborhood
to donate a gerbil or hamster... the smaller one... attached a parachute to
it, which worked fine, but the damn thing wiggled out of the harness about
50 feet off the ground... not a pretty sight, and the girl was PO'd.

How funny. We put a mouse in one of those Estes rockets once--we made a
'capsule' with rolled construction paper and padded both ends with foam
rubber and cotton. Of course this one time the parachute failed to open.
What we *poured* out of the 'capsule' wasn't particularly appetizing either.
