TLP, (The Launch Pad) Fans Thread

[TopRamen]

I love tlp kits, but the cs can be better.
Anyone know how to contact them? I need a bag of nose cones and I've tried contacting them several times over a month.

Good luck with that.
They have never responded to any of my inquiries via E-mail.

Great minds think alike!

I went over to my Mom's house today where my rockets are all stored and grabbed my Rails, my Indigo, and a chute'.

I hope to get her in the air sometime in the next couple of weeks.

I've been rocketless for too long!




The red and grey one is not TLP, but rather my own design inspired by TLP, and utilizing techniques I learned building TLP Kits.

Thanks TLP, the TYKON 10 Annihilator is pretty decent.:

I just picked up a roll at Ace Hardware, the store brand, and it seems to be the same thing.
Needed it for a new Dryer Vent Hose.
I used up my last roll sealing the duct work in my Mom's basement where I store mt rocket stuff.
It's nice to know my rockets are safe in a rocket friendly stable environment. She had the Basement waterproofed and it has a sump pump, and there's all sorts of modern contrivances that dehumidify and keep the temperature constant.
This is also nice in the summer, when it is cool and dry down there.
