I am speaking only as someone who was marginally involved, not as a real
designer. But I would expect that a model rocket will not reach the noise
levels of a shuttle, and the size of the board is much smaller, so vibration
will be less of a problem. But I would still feel uneasy with crystals and
even resonators. With the board along the acceleration Axis I would go for
SMD whenever possible. Mount non-SMD in the accelaration direction. Worry
about the heaviest components first. What about the battery? Spring clips
would seem a very bad idea.
