Mid power launch pad

thobin said:

Those are some great looking pads, and while I hesitate mentioning this because it comes from and non-rocket company and I like to keep the money in house as much as possible.

The Rockwell Jaw Stand is the bees knees, and it does more than act as a launch pad, it holds all the rockets while I build them.

Check this out.





I agree 100% ,you can make a great launcher with the Jawstand with very easy modifications and use rods or rails.It folds up nicely ,is very adjustable in every way ,has a degree scale for launch angle ,is very strong and relatively light.

You cam also launch some pretty big stuff on this bugger !

I bought and built one this winter (because of all the great things posted here about the Jawstand) and it`s my go to launch rail for midpower and some high power.

I normally make my own launchers ,from my large mid-high ,to my large rail tower for 1010 -1515 ,our big club launcher and now the Rockwell.

Wish I would have thought of it years ago ,but then again ,it`s a relatively new product.



I plan on buying another Jawstand for another winter project :wink:

I am going to build my own and I want mine where I do not have to get on the ground to hook up the igniter. Guess my age is showing. I will all so make it fold up as the only transportation I have is a motorcycle with a sidecar.

With the Rockwell stand wondering if the foot print is going to be stable enough? Has any one used it for mid power launch pad? I have gone all around Macon trying to look at one but know one has them in stock. Not even Lowe's or Home Depot.

That got asked in the other Thread about the Rockwell, and the answers were to simply "Stake" it into the Ground via the Holes in the Tips of the Legs, or the Suggestion I liked, slide Steel Pipes over the Legs to lengthen them.
I'm going to get a Rockwell and a 2X4 to mount my Rail to for my Mid-Power stuff.

Is anyone familiar with this company ?

Their pads look really nice. I am looking for a steel launch pad for larger mid power rockets - a lot of G motors for stuff around the size/weight of a LOC-IV. I would like to be able to use both a rail or rod. I would be flying rockets in the 40-50 ounce range off it - staying under the 53 ounce rule. Any other suggestions would be welcome too.

Thanks!
