Below is a quote from Barkley's MooMoo Build:
Ok, the "Lean-the-rocket-against-a-wall-only-to-have-it-fall" is a big problem for me too (as is all the resulting damage too). We're smarter than that.
One thing I tried was to use little blobs of poster putty set up at various points along the wall the prevent falls, this has worked, but I've also pulled paint off with it. Typically, my leaning rockets were vertically stacked several deep, so once one started to go, it'd take down a dozen others with it (or more ). Pressing the nosecones into the blobs works some, but I know that there's got to be a better way.
Reading his post made me think of those cradles that I've seen made out of PVC... (e.g. jpummil's (below))
When not being used as a cradle, perhaps it could be set up to be used as a vertical stand. Or create a dedicated stand using something similar.
Anybody else have ideas? And remember... A lot of us here are visual. Photos please, if you got em.
In other news, my daughter leaned up the rocket against a wall, only to have it fall on the uneven tile floor. You guess it - the point load cracked it. It's an easy fix, and I'm glad it happened before paint, but it also taught me that the nose cone method still needs some work.
