Manufacturer: | Aerotech |
Brief: Can handle 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 launch rods and is adjustable for wind elevation.
Construction:
Quality: All t' parts were thar and I even got a few spare parts! T' quality o' t' t' materials is good even though it looks kind o' cheap. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! . Avast! . Begad! bein' mostly made o' plastic.
Instructions: They were missing. Ahoy! Begad! They were missing. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! I called Aerotech who directed me t' their website where I be able t' download t' instructions. T' directions were pretty easy t' follow.
Ease o' build: Since it is mostly plastic I felt like I was puttin' together a model kit. T' only parts nay plastic are t' bolts, some nuts and t' legs.
T' only real disappointment in assembly was that t' legs were plain metal. Ahoy! In all t' ads t' legs have those cool yellow and black stripes. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! I thought t' launch pad kit had stickers or something. I even called Aerotech t' ask about them. Aye aye! They told me that they had been painted for t' ads. Avast! I did mine with yellow and black duct tape.

Summary: It works very well with t' rockets I have. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! T' heaviest rocket I own is less than 3 lbs. Blimey! For rockets that require a 3/16 rod it be fantastic. Aye aye! Arrr! It has worked out pretty good for me. Since it came with t' Aerotech Initiator kit I think it was a good value. I would NOT have purchased it as a separate item, because it costs too much by itself. Aye aye! For less loot you could make a home made one that would work better.
