It can accommodate both  1\/4&#8243; launch rod and a 10-10 launch rail.  My 1\/4 rod is stainless and 6 feet and the launch rail if 8 feet.  The pad is built using the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rockwelltools.com\/product\/jawstand-xp-portable-work-support-stand\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rockwell JawStand<\/a>. With a very minor changes to the JawStand by removing a couple plastic rails, I mounted a 1\/4 aluminum plate to the JawStand and everything else is mounted to that. If I wanted, the JawStand can be reverted back factory. The blast deflectors are stainless as well as the hardware. This thing is really sturdy and the launch rail\/rod can tilt down to facilitate loading a rocket onto the pad.  And the legs can be staked to the ground. All in all this makes for a very sturdy launch pad. A club member launched an H from it no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
