I'm at that point where I would like to start building my rockets with rail buttons. I never did before because I didn't have my own rail launch pad and not sure how many of you guys out there actually do, but since I joined ROC I now have access to the nice equipment they use at their launches. I do have a few questions.
What are the common size rail buttons. 1010 and 1515?
In relationship to the rail size what diameter matches to the rail buttons listed above if I'm correct? 3/4" rail or 1" rail etc..
When building rocket is there a guideline to follow for what size rail button to use based on the diameter of the rocket? What size rail button would you use for rockets between 2-4" verse the larger 5-8" rockets.
I know most of you use 2 buttons per rocket, is there ever time when you might need more?
Wheres the best place to purchase the rail buttons? It seems you can get them most anywhere.
One other question - Do you have a particular way that works best for installing the rail buttons?
Thanks again!
