I don't really like supporting my high power rockets with their fins or body tube resting on a metal c-clamp. So, I threw together a quick design for a support that slides down a standard 1010 rail that'll hold a rocket up by its fins. To use this, just slide it down a 1010 rail & put that dreaded c-clamp under it at the height you want. Slide your rocket into place & launch away.
I originally had the arms tapered on one side to use less material, but I changed it to be symmetrical so that if one side gets worn the other side should still work.
It should work for most 29 or 38mm rockets - probably bigger than that too. If you try it and have any comments/recommendations/brainstorms, please post here so I can tweak it for wider use.
