| Description |
In remote places, you have to improvise with what you’ve got. Would you launch this missile? The launch tower was clearly bent to the point of being unusable as intended (which is to give an anchoring guide rail for the rocket to make sure it reaches a stable flight speed before flying free. Otherwise, it could pivot randomly before coming up to speed). So instead, they have just lashed the top with some wire, which will hopefully break free upon launch… and the rocket will be unanchored and free-flying moments after ignition…. I have never seen a hobbyist try a launch rig this dangerous…. For the curious, I’ll post some more photos below later tonight. |
