Recently I bought a 8ft 1010 aluminum rail. I like to build over engineered pads, so here goes another one XD. This box is 3D printed and it has a gopro mount (get some sweet top view shots), quad RGD status LEDs (360 view of lad's status), radio antennae to receive radio signals to start auto sequence, and of course a American Flag holder. Since this will be erected to 8ft, will provide excellent radio signals coverage. Lol would also look like a wifi tower or something. I plan to do telemetry to a ground system computer, so I could in theory use this control box to house another radio module to reiceve and downlink live data from the rocket to a the custom ground computer I'm building.
This does not have umbilical connectors since it is at the top of the rail. I plan to add a umbilical in the center of the rail somewhere to potentially get live vehicle flight computer status, and keep the flight batteries topped off till the last second
^ground controller
Just to note the WOOF launch computer will control all autonomous sequneces after I start terminal count with the controller. Abort is possible down T-0 if you can press the abort button fast enough lol
