I guess I should give a little more info. I built a pvc launch pad but I would like to modify it so I am able to tilt the pad at an angle..

That is a slick little pad. I like the multiple version. I need to put something like that together, for my wifes science class to launch their rockets, in a couple of months. Hmmm, I just happen to have a bunch od 2.5" and 3" PVC and fittings. Hope you don't mind if I use your design.

Not at all Fred, thats why its there. If i can help with anything, you just let me know. Sooner or later i need to get the new HPR pads up there too. I'll try and post an update sometime next week.
I just had an "epiphany" of a brainstorm.
I prefer metal leg designs... thy seem to be more stable with rockets over
3'.Yellow Jacket types are nice, (I like them very much) but expensive, and some are not very compact.
hmmm.. I will have to lay up the designs...
Mine is very sturdy made from 1.5" ABS, I just want to be able to tilt the pad or be able to level it without putting rocks under the feet.
Isn't that more a factor of rocket mass and motor thrust?
Pardon the tech post!
