Default Ran ge Box

I have a checklist in my box. I always use it too. What do I bring?

1. Motors
2. Wadding
3. Igniters
4. Launch pad and rod
5. Launch controls
6. Sandpaper
7. Hobby Knife
8. Glue
9. Spare chute, launch lug ect.
10. pen or pencil
11. Pliers
12. Tape
13. Launch Cards
14. And of course Rockets!!!!

What do I do prior to going to the launch?

First I prepare all the rockets that I am going to launch that day. I unpack all chutes and ensure the proper wadding is in the tube. Repack the chute and load it. MAke sure the nose cone is tight enough. I then choose the engine I am using and load it into the rocket. The fill out the clubs launch card. I do this with all the rockets, This way I am ready to launch when I get to the launch site. I do not put any igniters into the engines. This does not happen until I get to the launch pad. Hope this helps some one.
