I do not separate my HPR kit from the model rocket kit I use the same field box as we
normally fly rockets types together items marked with a * are for HPR only and items
marked # are for model rocketry only.
Field Box...
At least this is what I have in my field box...
- Swiss Army Knife: for all kinds of things.
- A pair of slip-jaw pliers: for getting motors out of the rocket, aid in cleaning up RMS
casings.
- A modeling knife: for those unexpected precision cutting & trimming jobs.
- Baby powder: for powdering the parachute to make sure it deploys properly and doesn't
stick.
- Extra Igniters.
- Extra Wadding. #
- Sandpaper: for cleaning ejection pistons, and for helping motors into model rockets.
- Superglue: for those fins occasionally dislodged by a sudden stop at the ground with
model rockets not HPR.#
- Epoxy Glue for on field repairs.*
- Silver Foil: for mixing epoxy on.*
- Cocktail and kebab sticks: for mixing epoxy.*
- Masking tape: good for shimming parts to fit tighter, also good for taping on the launch
rod like a little flag to hold the rocket up off the pad for model rockets (to avoid
Bernoulli Lock). You can use spent black powder motor casings for this with HPR rockets.
- Cellophane tape (Scotch tape): for taping two-stage motors (booster & upper stage)
together on model rockets. #
- Electrical tape: in case of launcher repairs.
- Straws: for replacing lost launch lugs on model rockets.#
- Extra shock cord for model rockets/#
- String in case of a swing test after a field repair of a model rocket.#
- Sun Block: time flies when you're having fun - before you know it, you're a crispy
critter.
- RDF TX.*
- RDF RX.*
- Yagi antenna.*
- Quick match fuse: For cluster engined model rockets.#
- Spare batteries for model rocket launch controller, Bleepers, Timer, Altimeter, RDF TX
and RDF RX
- Spare crocodile clips for launch controller igniter leads
- Thin Flat screwdriver for turning on and installing timer and altimeter.
