Hey guys, I am somewhat new to rocketry. I've launched a few inexpensive A, B, C engined rockets. I live in an area where I have lots of room to launch larger rockets, and would like to get some more advanced rockets; something that can handle D+. Before I spend money on the "Mantis Launch Pad" I was wondering if this is even neccesary? I've seen pics of people using some upside down, clay flower pots and other home made pads. Should I invest in a Mantis Pad? Whats the purpose of it vs using the upsidedown clay pot? I can't seem to find a whole lot of info regarding launch pads.
Basically it comes down to, is it better to just buy this package deal https://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/aro/aro89001.htm With a pretty nice rocket, Mantis Pad, and a good launch controller, or just rig my own launch pad, buy whatever rocket I want and buy a launch controller seperate.
Any advice?
