I drive my Jeep Wrangler out to the launch site so a plastic bag is the only defense I have. That doesn't help with smell from the rockets themselves, I may start taking a large trashbag for them.
I've got a few new kits to build that have 24mm mounts but most of the time I would prefer to launch them on a B or C for my small field. I was thinking about making a few of the adapters out of D12 casings. I assume that means friction fitting the 18mm motor, or making a special motor hook.
I wonder if it would be acceptable to glue an 18mm motor inside of a D12 casing for single use? Maybe with the effort needed to clean out a D12 casing I wouldn't want it to be single use. I was thinking I could cut a groove down the side of the D12 for the motor hook to fit into and another groove around the perimeter of the D12 for a ring to hold the motor hook. I have a strip of metal that came out of an old windshield wiper blade that I could make a motor hook out of, it would need longer hooks to reach the 18mm motor.
Or I could just get a piece of BT-20 and a standard motor hook, make some centering rings from rolled paper, and use that. It would probably be lighter overall than the D12 casing.
Currently I have the Estes HiFlier XL that I've launched with D12-7. It flies great with no wind but goes high enough that you need a day with no wind and a large field, on the small field that we sometimes use I prefer that size rocket on a B or maybe a C. I have another HiFlier XL kit that I'm bashing into another design and I would prefer to launch it on B or C also. I could use C11 but it is so much easier to buy C6 for cheap at the local Hobby Lobby.
