Hello, all. This is my first post. Been into hobby rocketry for about 1.5 years, now, and I am just starting to get into mid-power with the hope of eventually getting Level 1 certified.
I am in the process of building an Aerotech Sumo, and I have a few questions, if anyone would be so kind as to help.
Thanks!

- What does this sentence in the instruction manual mean? "Use 3/4 masking tape for single use motor spacing." Where does the tape go? I have a G80, and it slides right in, is blocked by the aft closure in front, and the motor hook in back. So what is the tape for? Doesn't look like the motor can move.
- Also, for RMS motors, they give you two spacer rings. Since I have never bought or held an RMS motor, where would the rings go?
- Last, in the spring, I want to use this to L1 certify before I get into dual deployment. Obviously I have never used an HP motor, and I'm sure there is a lot I don't know. Would someone lay out the basics for me (assume I am stupid), like what casing to buy, what reload it to buy, anything else I need that I don't know about? Etc.
Thanks!
