In three days, I'm about to launch my first egg payload in my new (and first) cluster rocket, the Quest Magnum Sport Loader.
When I first heard of launching eggs, I thought what's the point? But now I understand the idea is to launch something fragile and get it back safely, and I'm into the challenge - besides, that's what this rocket was designed for. And I'm hoping we'll have some kids there, so that will be fun for them to watch.
But I've just realized I don't know how to protect the eggs (two of them) from breaking, and I don't want to get egg all over my new rocket. But I do want to try the challenge.
I'm sure I need to wrap them in plastic, but what sort of DIY padding should I use for this? I don't have a premade egg payload protector, and don't have time to get one - besides, I would rather make something myself.
Can anybody give me some suggestions?
