Launch pads that I have built

[KDRaven]

These are the launch pads that I built for the KOSMO rocket club.
4 LPR pads, 1 MPR pad, and 1 HPR pad. Legs have about a 2" span.
The LPR pads are made out of 1" and 3/4" steel tubbing and have folding legs and a windage adjustable riser.
The MPR pad is made with 1 1/4" and 1" tubbing and has folding legs, screw windage adjustable riser with tilt for loading. Legs have a 4" span.
The HPR pad is made with 1 1/2 and 1 1/4 tubbing has removable legs, screw windage adjustment with tilt for loading, legs has a 6' span. It is on wood legs in the photo, the legs look like the ones on the MPR pad but larger.
The rocket shown on the HPR pad is 4" dia, 42" tall 3lbs.
All pads have screw in rod holders under the blast deflectors.

If you're flying mainly model rockets, a budget priced camera tripod works wonders in that regard. My pad consists of a 1 x 2 wood brace with a blind nut in its base. I screw it onto the tripod head, add my launch pivot and am ready to fly. Sure beats crawling around on the ground.

Hey Johnny the HPR pad weighs in at about 25lbs.
