Hey all!

Tomorrow we're recording a podcast episode on small things that rocketeers can often overlook.

Think things folks accidentally overlook when go fever starts to take over or concepts you'd explain to a new rocketeer! Drop them in the comments below

 Here are some examples:

  • Don't forget to clean motor cases

  • Check electrical connections to altimeters

  • Overgreasing delay and preventing motor eject

  • Incorrect motor delay

  • Forgetting vent holes

  • Drag separation

Do not turn an easy mini on while horizontal on the pad. If you do you get charges in your face. Don't forget to bring the rocket when you go to a launch. Do not put a (whatever that rocket motor that looked like a DMS motor before it was in its case) in a rocket without a case.
