LOHAN gasps at stiff and slippery tube

Replacing Rear Aluminum Plate

I offer a suggestion that can solve the problems related to the rearward motion pressing against the aluminum back plate.when the rocket motor is ignited. Replace the back plate with two small narrow pieces of metal welded to the top and bottom of the titanium rod directly behind the rear collar that is used to hang the LOHAN from the titanium rod. The metal pieces will provide stops that will prevent the LOHAN from falling backward when the carrier is in a semi-vertical position and will not in any way interfere with the forward motion when the rocket motor is ignited.
