The Launch Pad comes complete with blast deflector, standoff stem, two-piece 1/8 in. launch rod and launch rod cap. Launch direction may be adjusted 30 degrees from vertical and can accommodate a 3/16 in (5 mm) Maxi Launch Rod – sold separately. Minor assembly required and no glue or tools are needed.
The Launch Controller comes fully assembled with 17 ft (5.2 m) of cable and requires 4 new 1.5V ‘AA’ alkaline batteries – sold separately. A GREAT Controller for launching all mini, standard (A-C) and D powered rockets.

Its a question not a review, how many times can I re-use this setup? Is it 10-20 times before some parts need to be replaced?

perfect however they did snap in half after third launch, but it was kinda fun

I added a aluminum foil plate to the 5″ dia. deflector plate to provide additional coverage/ground protection. It keeps the pad cleaner from the exhaust debris than the small plate. When I opened the package I found a THREE piece 1/8″ rod contrary to the packaging. Did I get an old kit? When was the last time a 3-piece rod was even made?

Controller does not work. We fixed a 20 year old controller and it’s ridiculous for this new one to not work. Incredibly disappointed.
