So it has been a very long time. I was building three stage rockets in junior high when the igniters had a black blob on the tip.
I saw a kit at Michaels and picked it up for 19 bucks. The new Estes launch pad is less than robust from what it used to be, and the rocket which my kids could put together had the trail end of the fins forward of the engine.
Here is my question. From the days of building the Alpha III and Quasar, how do I now keep the clips from touching the launch pad? There was nothing in the kit to lift the rocket up off the pad so the igniter and clips weren't laying on the base.
Sorry for the idiot question but I didn't see anything in the threads.
