being new to mid power, and having just finished a nice Estes 4" V-2 [that i am still waiting to get some digi shots back to share with everyone in my mid power forum thread], humorously enough i still don't have any launch equipment. i was planning on finding a good deal on the Aerotech Initiator package (non-RMS motor version) to use for my V2 on F21s, my soon-to-be-built Estes Honest john modified also for AT Es and Fs, and also a couple older lower power Estes rockets, like the Phoenix that launch with a 3/16" rod.
i also spoke to someone from the mid power forum who built his own launch system out of PVC pipes and just drilled a hole with a retention bolt for the launch rods. seems like a good idea but could i buy a launch controller separately to use with a custom-built pad?
any suggestions as to launch systems out there other than the AT Initiator system? any thoughts on anything would be great.
thanks!
