Built a custom launch pad over the week. Still have to figure out how to make it angle, but I'm happy with it overall. The bird is my level 1 certification project (super DX3), that flies on valentines day!
Excellent pad. As far as tilting it, I don't think it's needed. At BattlePark in VA we built all of our club pads without any method of tilting the rails, other then laying them down for loading. When they are tilted up and pinned in place, they are vertical. The only tilt is very slight and comes from the uneven ground they may be on. We have found we want the HPR pads to be as close to vertical as possible. Because of the longer burn times and higher altitudes of the HPR trying to tilt them based on ground level winds usually leads to more problems and issues than anything else. All of our HPR pads are set up vertical and with a few degree tilt away from the flight line.
