HPR Pad plans needed

All but the last one will sell me a pad, but not the plans to one. And Yellow Jacket (Jim Ball) isn't selling any until further notice. The last entry is made out of a bunch of pipes. Close, but not what I was looking for.

Couldn't locate the pad I've seen using these before I posted. I'll check again, but was hoping someone had a plan bookmarked.

Thanks for taking the time though.

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind, but I was looking for a welding project for my son. :-) Should have mentioned that before, I guess.

Norman

That reminds me. I really should put SEVERAL welding plans on the website. Perhaps I need reminding im email.

The idea was you could look at them and get an idea on what you need to build one. Even a simple X of 2x4s with a hole down the center could be replicated in steel. (and the design might make a great learning experience for a young person....).

Is it the Quadpod?

Here's another that doesn't tilt. But you can see how it's constructed in the photo.

Sorry, I'm a ground support equipment freak!

No plans, but a couple of pictures on how we made ours;

If you are thinking of using a rail instead of a launch rod try this URL out:

Thanks! Being printed out as I type this. Maybe I'm over-designing this... Or can use this as a basis for the mounting. I'm not sold on the cantilever with the rail and the 6" separation at the pivots. Seems like it can get 'twisty', but then again, I'm not flying anything huge.
