That is a great piece of craftsmanship, especially for a chemist! Will you be bringing it to Gunter next Saturday or are you going to force me to Corsicana this Summer?
Thanks Ted, I think. I'm going to see how it fits in the van, and if i can get it in assembled I'll bring it up. Othewise it will wait until I plan to use it.
So the rails normally used are just framework on this pad. And the rocket doesn't have buttons?
It just stays between the 3 inner rails that doesn't lock in any way directly to the rock, correct?
And it's designed for 3 fins only?
Can you put a rocket in it and show a few more pics. I'm curious how this works.
Thanks
Swung by the Harbor Freight today and picked up some ratcheting tie-downs. Finally got the chance to set it up, and it is quite sturdy. Also, found a great way to get confused looks from everyone driving by...What, you never seen someone with a 6 foot rocket launch tower in their front yard?

Young Hagen, I am planning to bring this along to Gunter for the next launch, and you are welcome to try it out. I'll leave it configured for 29 mm.
Unfortunately I only kept the video running long enough for the immediate launch. Had I gone one more second I would have captured the mach pop.
I agree with Chris. This was a definitely a launch worth attending again.
is this a kit?
