My parental story actually ties back into the range box discussion:
I actually got my dad interested in model rocketry. After about six months of launching, he built a large wooden box that contained a simple launch control panel and enough space to carry a half-dozen smaller rockets. Bigger birds (like his Estes ARCAS or my Interceptor) were carried out to the ballfield - er, launch site by hand.
We prepped all the birds at home- motors, chutes, everything. Once flown on the range, that was it for that rocket. We never carried spare motors or tape or glue or anything!
Boy can I identify with that Graylenman!
One of my first Homemade Controllers tried to incorproate a "carryall" compartment in it as well.
Who'd a guessed we'ed have Stuff Way to big to stuff in a box or launcher bigger then a controller LOL!!!!!
