Well, the rocket isn't ready yet, but the tower is :)
Can't wait to get out there.

I would definitely be interested - one less thing to build in the next
month (as long as we're sure it's still there).
I'm sure I'll find some other uses for the 1"x1"x72" 8020 rails I ordered.
I'll send you my number directly.

I bought a GLR tower for the club about 5 years ago. It rattled around in
the trailer afew years and about two people used it a few times.
After that, it just took up space in the trailer and i think it is still
at Robert Zylstras farm; I can call his wife and ask if you are interested
in taking ownership.
But yeah, they work very well...

Thanks guys.I think this is all the info I need.
Basically, I'm thinking of doing something like this:

So the max diameter of the tube (marked in red) that continues out the
bottom is 1.5" (though I'll probably go smaller since we have a bolt we can
use to tighten that down correct?
I'm also not sure how long to make that though I think it's probably less
important.
I originally ordered one of the giant leap towers (
https://giantleaprocketry.com/products/components_launch_systems.aspx)
but they are all out of stock of both sizes, so I guess I'm making my own
(unless anyone has one they want to sell or make available to the club).
I've got the 8010 rails arriving later this week. We'll see if I can
find the time between now and October skies to get it put together.
Please let me know if you see any issues. There's still time to revisit
:)

The tube the rail station goes into is 2x2 x.188. So the max diameter

Hey guys,
I've got a project that's going to need a launch tower and thought I'd
build one that would attach to our existing bases (unless we've already
added a tower to the club equipment).
What is the diameter of the rod that we use to attach the rails to the
base?
Thanks.
