Tripod Model Rocket Launch Pads
We offer tripod launch pads in two sizes:
TLP-42 - $329.99 Free shipping
TLP-60 - $489.99 Free shipping
TLP-42 MODEL
These two TLP-42 pads were built for Visioneering Space of Boise, Idaho.
Our TLP-42 model tripod launch pad was specifically designed with TARC teams in mind. It's sized to easily support and launch the size rockets you'll be working with in the TARC program. It is basically a smaller scaled down version of our larger TLP-60 model below and has the same rail / rod holder and blast deflector used on our folding
FLP-36 model, which is also an excellent choice for TARC teams. It has a 42" circular footprint and comes equipped with a 7 X 9 inch blast deflector. The three legs are held in place in their sleeves with 5/16 thumb screws and are easily removable for transport and compact storage. Being a three legged tripod design, the pad will "self-level" itself on uneven ground.
$329.99 Free shipping.
(Free shipping is to continental U.S. only. Extra shipping charges apply to Hawaii and Alaska.)
The TLP-42's combo rail / rod holder holds both 1 inch 1010 series rails and 1/4" launch rods. Blast deflectors measure 7 x 9 inches and are made from 14 gauge steel.
Spare blast deflectors may be purchased for $31.99.
This TLP-42 was built for the Airforce Museum at Wright Patterson Airforce Base.
TLP-60 MODEL
Our Level 2 high power launch pad, the TLP-60 Model. Geared toward larger sized Level 2 high powered rockets, it has a big 60" diameter circular footprint with removable legs made from 1-1/2" 14 gauge square steel tubing. The central hub that the legs slide into is made from 1-3/4" 14 gauge square steel tubing. Each leg is held in place with a 3/8 thumb screw underneath each sleeve for fast setup and take down. The angled blast deflector is made from 12 gauge steel and measures 10 X 12 inches. With three legs, it is self leveling. The rail holder is designed to hold a 1" 1010 series launch rail. The rail holder pivots on a large 5/8" pivot bolt and tilts down to allow loading rockets. A "pull pin" type bolt locks the rail holder in place in the upright launch position. Plastic plugs in leg ends keep dirt out. Stout pad for launching larger sized rockets.
