Some years ago---probably twenty years by now---I bought this launch pad from a guy on Ebay. I think. He was from Huntsville, as I recall.
After all this time I've lost his contact information burt would like to replace this one with something similar---As you can see it's a home-built job consisting of sand-filled PVC pipes and a drill chuck for launch rod insertion.
The drill chuck took rods up to 1/4'' size and that made it really convenient.
I used it for D, E, and F-sied engines, plus F composite size for rockets like the Nike Smoke, Doorknob, Super Big Bertha.
Aybody know anyone selling anything like this?
Or, failing that can recommend a good launch pad that's better than the Estes one I bought that's marginal at best?
Thanks.
