When you build a rocket, and use a retainer ring, how deep do you set it? I have two builds that are near minimal diameter. On one, I set the ring so that when a motor is loaded, the ring just touches the edge of the BT. On the other, I set the ring so that , when unloaded, the ring just touches the edge.
In the first example, the ring is not fully tight when the MMT is empty. In the second, some of the threads are visible when the MMT is loaded. Which do you think is best?
