Hello Kathleen,

Most modern model rockets have a round cavity at the base for the rocket 
motor.  You'll probably NOT want to have the motors installed for the 
exhibition, they're hard to see with the rocket standing up anyway.  If you 
remove the motors, perhaps you can find or make wooden dowels to fit into 
the motor cavity, and attach those dowels upright to a sturdy base inside 
the case, that should stabilize them nicely. That may not work for all of 
them, but should do the trick for most.  Hope that helped,



Curtis Morris

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] mounting model rockets



We have a number of model rockets. Some measuring @ 3' high. We want to 
display them standing upright under a Plexiglas case . Any recommendations 
of how to attach/ mount them to the base of the case so that they won't fall 
over if the case is knocked?



Thank you
