Hi!
I was wondering if it's possible to launch a rocket without a forward motor retainer. I bought a 54mm minimum diameter fiberglass kit and mounted my aft retainer alright (p-type), and am just now realizing I need a forward one above my engine and I don't realistically have time to buy one. Is there any way to hack this issue? I was thinking of installing an eye bolt into the side of the tube (or maybe a threaded rod) above the retainer but not sure if theres a better way. If it matters I have an aerotech-54-1280 motor set (complete set from bay area rocketry). Just trying to launch my L1 haha.
