lugs vs buttons

[boomtube-mk2]

Keep this in mind when considering using rail buttons on smaller sized rockets. I have only flown with three different clubs and they all put their available rails further away from the firing line.

So if you have a small low/mid powered rocket it might be placed so far away it will be hard to see sitting on the rail. This can also pose a problem with BP two stage rockets as the rocket stages further away it becomes more difficult to track the booster’s decent.

What are these “Micro-Buttons” of which you write? Where can they be obtained? And what kind of rail do they use?

I prefer buttons on just about any rocket.
