Interesting... At QCRS, we're all kind of in everybody's rocket projects all the time anyway. We're always scuffing around to see what people are doing, and there's not much room for someone to rush out be sloppy because we tend to notice it quickly. Someone got their L2 at Mini MWP this spring and I can think of around a dozen guys that worked with him at various stages of construction leaving zero room for a reckless flight.

If other clubs are less... Involved... With each other's projects, yeah, I guess recklessness could happen then.
Things have changed in the community as a whole since I flew there. It's definitely easier now to find information on best practices and different techniques as well as interact with people outside of the launches. The club I used to fly with was Albuquerque Rocket Society. Great group of flyers, but we all tended to work on our own projects. Most of my issues were due to my own stubbornness, a lot of procrastination, and go fever, which is hard to coach even if everyone is involved in everyone's projects.
