Due to the numerous launchpad types and techniques, it is near impossible to design for one pad and hope to cater to everyone. If you have a simple rod launch pad, simply glue a straw to the side of the rocket and mount. Edit the rocket body if needed. Use the "F" sized Estes engines. "E" size is a half-charge of the "F" size and might not provide enough thrust nor flight time for the rocket to reach its potential. Always ensure you're launching with proper model rocket launch equipment and ensure your launch area is completely safe of hazards. Ensure your rocket or your presence in your launch area is not a hazard. As always, do not launch near airports, public places, near power lines, in heavily wooded areas or in areas where a moderate fire risk or above is present or near any official government buildings/facilities. |ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS BEFORE A LAUNCH|
