- Motors - Yep. You'll have motors in your field box.
- Wadding - You may or may not need this, but most people do.
- Ignitors - It's a good idea to keep a few spares on hand.
- Hobby knife and spare blades (very handy).
- Adjustable pliers (not sure of the correct name) - They are
a cross between a pair of pliers and a pipe wrench - one handle
slides up and down to adjust the jaw distance. Great for getting
motors out.
- O-ring grease (if you use reloadable motors)
- Motor spacers - You'll probably have a few of these.
- Wet Ones (baby wipes) - For cleaning your RMS after each flight
- Spare batteries for your launch control
- Tarp - It's a good idea to prep on a tarp so you don't loose
anything, and it's better than sitting on the dirt.

- Washers, nuts, screws - I use them for a standoff and for motor
retention - you may not need them
- Glue/epoxy for field repairs (fixing rockets, not the launch
site!)
- Streamer Tape - You might keep a roll of this handy for emergencies.
- Parachutes - It's a good idea to keep a few spares as they tend
to part company with your rocket on occasion.
- Long nose pliers - come in handy sometimes
- Normal pliers - Another handy tool.
- Sand paper - also pretty handy.
- Talc - Powder your chutes so they don't stick.
- Shroud line - Just in case you need to fix a chute on the field
- Motor matrix or simulation data - Sometimes people wont believe
your rocket will fly on the motor you intend to use and may try
and stop you from launching. The motor matrix/sim data is evidence
that it will fly
