Since not all rockets are the same height nor do they have the launch lug in the same place, how do you set up your launch rod for each rocket?
I've only had one rocket to worry about up to now so I just put a piece of masking tape around the rod to keep the rocket from resting on the engine. However, now I've also got a Quest Nike-K with the launch lug built into the fin assembly at the base. If I use the same rod with the masking tape in the same place the Nike sits about half way up the rod.
What do you guys/gals use to adjust the height on the rod?
I'm thinking about trying a small rubber band or piece of rubber tubing.
Thanks for any tips
