Cleaning Up Post Launch Part 2

Take the kinks out of your controller lead wires by folding a paper towel, pinch it over the wire and pull the wire through.
Don't pull the wire near the controller body, you don't want to pull on the inside connections.





Here's the wires after taking out the kinks and loosely coiling them.
Don't bend the wire where it comes out of the controller, keep it loose and strain free.



Lastly, wipe down the launch rod with a drop of oil on a paper towel. You could also use some silicone spray.

You'll notice that all this work was done over a sink.
That black engine residue can get everywhere.
Keep it where you can do a quick cleanup.
