Launch Tower

[Bruce R. Schaefer]

Without the needless drag of rail buttons, this is what the club needs for ANY serious altitude attempts at L-M (or N). This is great. Don’t we have a call-in 30k waiver, or used to?

The SwingSet actually sports a 19-foot rail at the moment. The rail that is currently on it is not standard 80/20 rail but it is compatible with the larger extreme buttons. I would like to convert it over to some nice shiny new 80/20 rail some day though.

We had a call-in of 30K arranged for MHM and Oktoberfest in 2006, but it didn’t get granted for 2007. We’re working on something similar this year, but don’t have any idea if it will happen. Joe is working on it.

Curious as to how large of launch towers we have access to. I would have no issues building one but if they exist already………Whats the largest rockets that can be flown from them.

T-C has a 3 fin and a 4 fin tower that is about 8 ft tall. it is good to about 6in but not for sure, it will at lest handle a 4in AF.

one of these are in the trailer and the other is in Denver.
