Double shot rail buttons

[Garrace]

I was wondering if people who have flown the mc double shot are using 10/10 buttons or do I need to use the larger 15/15

I use 10/10 on lower section only. No problems so far.

According to Madcow it only weighs about 8 lb. 1010 buttons will be fine.

I've used 10-10's in mine, just fine. 8 lbs must be the empty weight with no motors or electronics.... mine sure seems a lot heavier than that.

Mine weighed in around 14lbs and made it off the rail just fine with 1010s before the motor CATOed.

I’ve flown 30 and 40 lb. rockets on the Blacksky buttons several times. I don’t even own any 1515 buttons.

Thanks for all the input I was concerned how many 15/15 rails were going to be available at the launches I attend anyway.

I have 1515 rail buttons on my Wildman Extreme, which weighs about 26 pounds with a four grain m motor. The reasoning was that the larger/longer pads where I fly are 1515. You could easily fly this with 1010 though.

Most launches will have 1515 rail pads, but they will usually be further out.
What really matters is thrust to weight on takeoff. I’ve only ripped off one button. It was launching a PML Explorer on an H999. The pad tipped over too. [emoji16]
