Simple Builds Volume 5 - Building Your Own Launch Pad

Tired of getting on your hands and knees to ready your rocket? Did you just miss poking your eye out on your launch rod - again? If so, then this launch pad is for you! Built out of easily sourced parts, it is very flexible, supports 1/8" and 3/16" rods and is easily setup and taken down. The video provides a complete list of parts and sources and walks you through how to build it. If desired, some parts from your existing launch pad can be used to get you up and going more quickly. Also, there are some optional features that can make it even more flexible to use. One part that you must fabricate is the rod adapter. The video linked below describes how to build it - it was the first of my simple build videos:    • Tripod to Model Rocket Launch Pad Conversion   Hopefully you'll find this a fun and worthwhile project.
