Is ANYTHING going on with the supposed production referenced above regarding the run of LIA-100 Centuri launch pads?
It's been 4.5 YEARS since the announcement. C'mon noww.
How about just producing them ?
What's the deal ??

Hi GH,
You will be pleased to know that I am investigating having some of the ID-100 blast deflectors made by a local sheet metal shop for the Centuri LIA-100 launch pad. David Stribling (rocketguy101) and I worked together to document them on YORF back in 2017: https://forums.rocketshoppe.com/sho...00&postcount=70 . Once I receive a quote on the ID-100 deflectors, then an estimate can be determined to build the rest.
That same thread, thanks to Earl for starting it, and thanks to several contributors and great teamwork, has all the information needed to reproduce this cool retro, thing of the past, Centuri LIA-100 heavy duty launch pad: https://forums.rocketshoppe.com/showthread.php?t=14833 . You can also see posts #106-#111 of this current thread for reference, starting here: https://forums.rocketshoppe.com/sho...9&postcount=106
Attached is a photo of the Centuri LIA-100 that I currently have to use as a pattern.
Kind regards,
