Adjustable Launch Stand Parts

If you travel for FPV races you will know that it's not easy to pack a launch block. Most of the Racers use wood blocks which are cumbersome to travel with. I started out by designing a collapsible launch block and the intention was to have it CNCed from G10 or Carbon Fiber. I developed 3 different concepts and then I simply said to myself there has to be someone on the market that will meet my requirements. I came across very small collapsible laptop holders, so I decided to buy one and if didn't meet my needs I would simple use it as a laptop holder. Well, it turns out this thing meets all my requirements. The parts in designed are intended to be used with laptop stand in the below link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B3N1234/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are two basic setups you can run, 1 is the traditional flat launch and the other is using a preset angle for launch. Now, in the 2020 season the MultiGP rule stated that all quads much be armed while in horizontal position which means the quad has to start out in a flat position. But, for the 2021 season the Tier 1 chapters along with Skully and other MultiGP Leaders designed that the angle launch stand *will be allowed* for the 2021 season. The new rules for 2021 have not been posted yet, but if you *think* you need to confirm this change simple post in the MultiGP FB group, I assure you angle stands are not against the 2021 rules. In either case, this stand can do a flat launch so for those race directors that don't allow angle launch stands you can still use as a traditional launch stand and it's super portable.
