That's pretty cool! Would you care to share how you did that? If you have the OR file I'd love to see it.
Thanks in advance.

Is it...stable?
Or only if you shim one of the legs?
Sorry, I tried to scan the legs of my PPII but my printer isn't working.
Has anyone launched it yet???
Asked in jest (I think) and yet... among all the odd-rocs out there, has anyone ever actually made a launchable launch pad (or facsimile) before? Seems like it should be doable somehow, and would be truly ridiculous in the best possible way.
You've got me thinking it would be pretty cool to fly one (or something that looks like one) in real life, that's all. :grin:not for any serious reason or because you would actually try to fly a porta-pad in real life.

That's been a scratch idea I had considered many, many times. It would obviously have to be a rather substantial upscale, if one were to use BT50 (24mm) as the launch 'rod'. I have never scaled it, but I'd imagine the 'legs' (fins) would have to have about an 8' footprint.
I'd suppose a 13 or 18mm 'rod' would scale it down, but... Bigger is better!!
I'd pay admission to see that one go. :y:

A few ounces of lead epoxied into the very top of the 'rod', rear eject 'chute, 24mm composite...I think it's doable
I think many of us have 'accidentally' launched a Porta-pad, why not do it ....on purpose?!
