If you are like me, when you buy a new rocket, you like to buy everything you need in one fell swoop, so as to save time and shipping. But there is always that one thing that you forget, that you have to go back and order and pay extra shipping for.
I put this in the HPR forum because I have HPR rockets with DD in view here.
I thought it would be helpful to compile a checklist of everything you need when buying/building a new kit. I am not including epoxy, shear pins, rivets, BP, and other things that people buy in bulk and have lying around the house/workshop.
Please add things that you think of. At the end, maybe we all have a nice checklist to print for the next Happy Humpday Sale!
What am I forgetting?
