Here's a basic question: when painting largish to large rockets, how do you keep them stable for painting? With the model ones, I've taped a dowel to their inside and used that as a handle or stake from a cardboard box. However, with bigger rockets now (current one is ~500 grams) that seems... insufficient. Do y'all just use bigger stakes?
I've heard of using a Jawstand or similar to rotisserie a rocket, but that isn't something I can feasibly set up. I could just set it on the open tube end, but that leaves me worried about a gust of wind blowing the rocket over and ruining the paint.
What are your solutions?
