Launcher Notes
 
 
We used last year's launch tower on October 21, but we would really like a new launch system.  A rail system that permits 3 or 4 fin rockets would be a good project.

Some members had a dream about a rocket tube as a launcher.  They built a demo system using a large PVC pipe.  Here is a video of their first launch.

We had serious problems with the tube launcher when we created a door on the side.  We are looking for a new design

We are also looking for a stainless steel rod for our other launch tower.  We have a regular steel rod.
