But widely spaced pods are so cool and work well with epoxy plugged booster motors! Give into the Dark Side. ;)
Somewhere in the forum I had a discussion about “for show” booster pods on fin tips. The idea was to put 1/4A, 13mm motors in three fin pods at the end of each fin. The sustainer would be a beefy motor, such as a C6 or D12. If the sustainer did not light, no biggie. The 1/4A motors couldn’t get the rocket off the pad. If a 1/4A did not light, no biggie. They are just for show anyway. But if the sustainer lights and all three 1/4A’s light, you get lots of fun smoke and flame on lift off!

Wait! You were in that thread!
