If they need help re-xpandning after they leve the pod then I / "WE" will need to think of somthing.. Hoping the above works..
I would find some sort of thin spring metal that can be used to make fins. That way they can be folded up and will hold the rocket in the tube. Problem will be finding something thin and springy, but not too strong that the rocket will not come out of the tube when powered.
