Steel wool or a scotchbright green pad. Some rocketnutz spray the pad with WD40.Today, I picked up a steel rod for the launch rod.
It is quite dirty though. What's the best way to clean it? Is there any additional prep needed?
What's the process of doing that?I would keep it clean with the scotchbright pads and WD40.
Well, my usual process is to use a vinegar-soaked rag to clean most of the exhaust residue from the rod. If there is any baked on residue I use the pad with a little WD40 or, as suggested above, CRC, to remove it. I then wipe the entire rod, or rail, with WD40 for storage.What's the process of doing that?
You can use the eyepiece tray to hold some extra mass like a rock or a bag of sand. That will give you additional stabilty. If it were my setup, I would place my 8ah battery on there and use a large blast deflector (i.e. not the 5" Estes version).Hi,
I have been getting from LPR to MPR and need a new launch pad. I found an old telescope stand that I'm going to repurpose into a launch pad.
