A couple of questions from a relative newbie to high power -

1) The "Nylo-Glass" coating you put on the body and fins, is that necessary for a level one flight? Wondering if that was personal preference, done for future level 2 flights, or a "do it or it will fall apart" type of thing.

2) I bought a parachute baffle and want to install it on this rocket. How much distance between the end of the motor tube and the lower end of the baffle should there be?

3) I also got rail buttons for this rocket. Where is the best place to install them? Into the body tube where the bulkheads are?

4) Lastly, I plan on setting mine up like others on this thread have done, as in the smaller section being the payload section, and the rocket splitting for parachute deployment at that coupling, not a the nose cone. I see you used nylon screws to keep everything together in flight, will the plastic removable rivets work? I see you also screwed the tube coupling to the payload bay instead of gluing it, is that so you can remove that coupling and install your E-bay?

Thanks! Your rocket looks great, and is a LOT farther than mine! :-)
