To add to that, know what your rocket is likely to land on. My club flys at a sod farm, with several irrigation ditches on the field, which means that water landings occur from time to time. In the east and midwest, clubs tend to fly in grassy areas and farm fields, which tend to provide soft landing zones. Out west, many clubs fly in desert regions, with bare soil that is well packed and rocky. People flying in those areasoften use larger chutes to soften the landings. Moral of the story: know your field, and select and configure your rocket accordingly.
What should you do if there are lots of cow pies in your field? :lol:
