Launch Rod Poll
Hi! Quick question. Do you ...
a) use the two-piece launch rods provided with most launch pads?
b) use a single-piece launch rod?
c) use a launch tower because you're really old school?
d) shun rods entirely in favor of rails?
Please assume this is for low-power (D and below motors) launching.
Details about your choice would be welcome. How "dangerous" actually is that mid-rod joint on the assembled rods?
Yup, it's the old "portability vs. utility" question. I don't necessarily mind hauling around a length of pipe to keep my one-piece rods in, but I'd just as soon not if there's no real value in it.
Cheers!
