Hey all!
I am working on a completely homemade rocket, and am wondering if there are any plausible alternatives to launch lugs. I currently use a simple fiberglass rod staked into the ground with a metal duct cover to protect the ground. It works well, but seems as though the system kills the velocity. In OpenRocket, estimates show that using launch lugs decreases my maximum velocity by about 30 m/s which is quite significant.
Any advice appreciated!
