BT 20 launch lug choices

[David Schwantz]

What are some of the things you use for launch lugs on the smaller stuff? Thanks.

I use launch lugs for launch lugs.

It has to fit a standard 1/8" rod without too much play. So, yeah a standard launch lug. I suppose you could sub a plastic straw of the same diameter but you cannot use wood glue to attach it: dissimilar materials.
I have also seen micro rail buttons for LPR, but that is the exception and you need a makerbeam rail to launch.
I have repurposed the long tubes that APCP motor igniters come in as launch lugs. But I think that's what they were in the first place.
Or you can roll your own using cardstock and a launch rod (or 1/8" dowel). Cheers.

A 1/8” dowel, some cardstock, and a glue stick, ...

I've got a package of paper straws that the family bought years ago for relighting pilot lights they also work nicely as launch lugs, though for any thing shorter than 7" standard lugs work too, 5/32" Al tubing can also be used .
