Cub Scout Space Derby - need hints

My 7 year old Cub Scout just finished making his first space ship / rocket from a block of balsa wood for the upcoming Cub Scout Space Derby. Lots of whittling, lots of sanding, great fun working in dad's shop. His rocket is, well, of his own making. Since he will be competing against rockets made primarily by dads, I'd like to consider improving his rocket without altering the, shall we say, unique aerodynamic styling. Any hints / suggestions (things to do with the rubber bands, propeller, etc.)?


---------------------

-It might be a little late for this year's cub scout derby, but one of the packs in my city has a derby for the dads and the real one for the scouts. Everyone gets to play.

-I sudgest that you have a catigory for rockets created by dads. We always did that for pine wood derby cars. It seems to make it easier for the dads to keep there hands off of the boys car.
