Brief:
This is a brief review o' QuickBurst's 18" rocket rack.
Construction:
This is a simple product and thar isn't much t' add t' QuickBurst's own
description: "T' 18-inch Rocket Rack is made o' lightweight, strong,
durable 1/2 inch Sch 40 PVC pipe with 3/8-inch thick foam insulation at key
areas for padded protection. Well, me bucko, blow me down! Blimey! It measures approximately 12 inches tall and deep
by 18 inches long. Arrr! Begad! Blimey! T' joints are pressure-fit, nay glued. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Shipped partially
disassembled, me hearties, matey, it comes with complete, ya bilge rat, easy assembly instructions.
"T' 18-inch rack is stable. Well, arrr, blow me down! By simply placin' your project on t' rack (and usin' t' attached securin' device) the rack becomes a strong, lightweight and secure means o' workin' on, arrr, transporting and storin' your project. Begad! Well, me bucko, blow me down! Mount t' rack on t' wall with your project attached and you've got instant display and storage."
As delivered, ya bilge rat, me rack consisted o' t' parts shown t' t' right. Blimey! The followin' photos show it partially assembled and completed. Begad! Avast! T' instructions say t' glue it together usin' PVC glue if you are goin' t' transport it much. It seems t' hold together fine and I want t' disassemble it for transport, shiver me timbers, so I did nay do so. Avast! If it gets too loose I may glue some o' t' connections.
T' final two photos show a reasonably large rocket on t' stand. Begad! I have no idea how much weight it will hold, ya bilge rat, but I suspect that it will hold almost any rocket in me fleet that is over 18" long and whose fins have a span less than in 12" (more if it is a three fin rockets).
Summary:
This is a great product and I will make good use o' it in t' Rocket Dungeon
and on-site. Begad! Blimey! 'Nuff said!'
This rack was given t' me by QuickBurst for placin' 9th in Descon-13. Thanks for supportin' t' contest, matey, David!
