My son bought me one of these for my birthday and it is fabulous. Most of my rockets are F-Hs and a few I-Js. This is so quick and easy. Recently, I launched my Warloc with a J-350 and it worked flawlessly. For added stability, I tied three 20 pound barbell weights directly under the center post with strong rope. It made the stand incredibly stable. I have an 8' X 1" rail clamped as the author did. This is such a great stand and invaluable in the shop for other things related to rockets and chores. One thing that is fabulous abu this stand is that you can clamp a 3/4" wood dowel in it, then slide your rocket on the dowel for all types of work, especially painting. You can angle the vice about 45 degrees and paint with one hand while rotating the rocket around the dowel with the other. For adding decals trim whatever, the stand was invaluable. I don't have great pic of it, but check out my 4" patriot just as it is typically mounted on the dowel.
