I don't know why I've sat on the fence over this issue for so long, but I finally decided that in the future, all my 29mm+ powered rockets (within reason) are going to be using rail buttons. I suspect that the reason was that I hadn't had any experience with them until I finally broke down and bought (then built) Mike Fisher's (Binder Design) 2.6 Dragonfly, and my LHS doesn't carry them. Now that I've had almost 9 months to get familiar with MPR that are more powerful than D/E engines, I realize that despite my personal lack of owning a rail shouldn't mean that I only build for launch rods.
As it stands now, only the Partizon and an Argent are stuck with 1/4" LL's. I may need some advice on how to handle the Ventris/Ventris-like builds for rails.
Now I put "within reason" as rockets like the Apogee Aspire (29mm minimum diameter) and the Enerjet Egg Crate (BT-56 based 29mm powered rocket), use such thin cardboard for body tubes, and I'm not certain about techniques for attaching buttons to rockets like them (Read: I'd like advice).
Pointy Side Up!
