"Adeptor" Camera Tripod Launch Pad Adapter

Odd'l Rockets "Raise" Launch Rod Adjustment Spring

Use the Odd'l Rockets Launch Rod Adjustment Spring to lift up your rocket away from the blast deflector!

Nomex Wadding

While not required, this would be a useful addition to this kit. If you don't use a heat shield, you'll have to use disposable wadding to protect the parachute from the heat of the ejection charge. And for a large diameter kit like this, it will take a lot of disposable wadding.

Sunward Nomex Ground Cover Blanket

Provide a bit extra fire protection to the grass under the launch pad with the 5-by-5 foot nomex blanket.

Balsa Sheets

So you've got your design in RockSim, and you're ready to start building.  While tubes and nose cones come in pretty standard sizes and shapes, the sky is hardly the limit on how your fins will look.  Pre-designed, pre-cut fins just won't cut it for your rocket, so you'll need sheets of balsa to cut out your own!
