LOL! Night before my wife had her first knee replacement surgery I had her steadying a step ladder in the bed of my pickup so I could retrieve my Estes Laser Lance (still have it but it’s slightly shortened and semiretired. The rocket that is, my wife is 4 days from total retirement and the same height). So yeah, even though that worked ok for us sometimes discretion is indeed the better part of valor - order a new QCC and enjoy the build.
