I am looking for ideas to build a launch tower, materials, design, portability, quick change to accommodate different size rockets, etc. I am also looking for guidance (no pun intended) on what the proper lengths are for towers. I am assuming it is based on the same principle as a rail/rod, stable flight, however does the tower make a difference in calculating this.
Do the the vertical pieces rub against the airframe if so has anyone tried to line them with something like delrin on the inside of the vertical piece? The first thought that comes to mind is that the material would have to be able to handle some heat otherwise it would not be practice. I also want something that I can quickly convert while at the pad to accommodate different sized rockets, as small as 24mm up to 98mm.
