The link below will show you how to build a PVC launch pad ( pictured above ) which
our 4-h club has used for the past 4 years. Nice thing about this design over the standard Estes pad, there is no need to kneel right on the ground as the launch rod is almost 24" above the ground.
Cost about $20.00-$25.00
