    Great Launch Rod!!!!!!

    I really, REALLY like the1/4" 2-piece Threaded Launch Rod. The threading is good and accurate for aligning the 2 pieces, and the rod is definitely straighter than the 1/4" rods found in hardware stores. Being aluminum, it doesn't oxidize or corrode as easily as more common rods in hardware stores and it cleans easily. I clean and re-lube mine with automotive Armor-All after each launch. The 2-piece "takedown" makes for easy storage and transport, especially for me since I ride my bike with rocket stuff on a bike trailer for most launches. This rod has worked great with D through the lower range of F motored rockets, it's stiff enough and the 5 foot length is perfect. That's my 2 Centavos.
