TIP: Transporting Bigger Rockets



I bought one of these neck rings if I ever needed to take a nap in my car.
I've found a second use for it.

Recently I had to take an Apogee Saturn V to the UPS Store to have it weighed for shipping. My home scale was too small.


I wanted to lessen the chance of it rolling and also protect the white body from the seat belts in the backseat of my car. It fit the 5 1/2" diameter body very well.

This ring has also been used for 4" diameter models as well.
Two rings (one at the front and on at the rear) would probably work best.

TIP: Before you buy a neck ring for rockets (or sleep), get one with stiff filler material. Some of them are so flimsy they offer no support at all.
