June 9th Launch Equipment Question was created by DanTyszka1966
Hello,

For the June 9th launch in Sudbury, will smaller gauge launch rods be available as part of the club's launch equipment (for MicroMaxx-sized model rockets)?

My son has built his first MicroMax-sized rocket (Flis-Kits Mighty Saturn V) and would like to launch it on Sunday.

(We're new to the club (and to micro-scale rockets) and didn't notice any of these in the launch area the last time we attended a launch, so thought I'd ask.)

Hi Dan,

Glad to hear you and your son are building rockets and thinking ahead.

Yes, the club has a couple of launch rods for the MicroMaxx rockets. If we have lots of the MM rockets, we set up the right size rod on pad 11. If we keep 11 as an 1/8" rod, we have the MM rod mounted on a clothes pin that can be attached to the 1/8" rod.

One way or another, we'll have the right equipment to launch anything the field can handle.

See you Sunday.
Kenn
