I like the lower CG and the assembly method. It appears the mold design precluded a form fitting notch. I think the instructions should suggest the use of optional sand bags on the legs. Can it accept 1/8", 3/16", and 1/4" rods?
Looking forward to the controller close-up pictures. Speaking of kit talk we updated the Hi-Test 3100 page in anticipation of the new Estes 29mm BP motors. http://v-serv.com/usr/kits/3100.htm http://v-serv.com/usr/kits/2650.htm http://v-serv.com/usr/kits/265.htm Last edited by Jerry Irvine : 02-09-2013 at 07:32 AM. |

A few notes about this design.
It has a MUCH lower center of gravity then the older pad. The more the rocket weighs the more stable the pad becomes This pad will stabilize a large 18mm powered rocket (like the Big Bertha) in over 10-12 mph winds It’s also worth noting that the blast deflector is held a little tighter with the new 3deg taper mount. Cheers, Grimracer Picture shows my prototype pad (the little one was inspired from).
