I would also like to fly a 54mm shot or two out of that tower, Sean 8) I have a couple of shots in a 100% “stock” KestreL that I want to do @ MHM – A Pro54 K300 and…   Read more»

John,You are giving me too much credit. Assuming my airframe is as good as yours, my mission reliability has a long way to go.Sean- thanks for the offer.

Let’s just say that there is a need, by certain club members, of a tight, accurate, 54mm capable tower of 12′ to 16′ in length. If you have one or can build one, please contact me ASAP.Warren

No problem, I am happy to let people use it, just got to get the brief tutorial first on how to set it up etc. We originally built it for a 54 two stage which is why its so tall….   Read more»

Sean,If you would be OK with others launching out of your tower at MHM, that would help me out. I have a 54mm K shot that needs a slick tower.chad

Sorry I didn’t notice this thread earlier. I have a custom built tower that will fit up to a 98 Mongoose. It has 10 foot rails with extensions that go up to 14 ft. Fully adjustable, with a nice solid…   Read more»

My friend (whom I built my first tower with) designed an adjustable tower that used 4″ tube (8′ long) that had ends that were on cams so you could adjust them to the diameter and lock down. It had a…   Read more»

That is an awesome tower indeed – but it is costs too many $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and it will still turn to scrap if it gets stuff piled on top of it in the trailer. The current rods and rails have a…   Read more»

John and I found a VERY nice tower… http://www.towerlauncher.com/ – 54mm up to 7.5″, no fin span limitation. Starting price I believe is about $1500.Warren

While rails and rods are fairly linear in their expense curve, towers get much more expensive as the diameter of the rocket and fin span diameter increases. What may be a $50 tower for 38mm may turn into a $200…   Read more»

That tower is pretty rickety in any case… it just doesn’t travel well. It served so well for my first shot, but towers tend to get wrenched on a lot, and they just don’t have the durability of a good…   Read more»

I have a Waltson, but have borrowed the reciever to my son in ND. I am going to test my Level 3 project on a level 2 motor, hoping to accomplish in April at your North site.SO , does anyone…   Read more»

my body tube is 98 mm or 4 inches.Fins are just about 5 inches so I believe the span is 14 inches. now that I took the time to measure.Thanks

my span accourding to roc sims is 13.5 inches, When I measure it is is close to 14 inches so Rock sims is probably correct with 13.5Hope you have one , if not I will have to buy or make…   Read more»

I don’t have the tower here to check, but I think it’s more like 14-16″ on the span ring.There is a good picture on the 3dogs rocketry site http://www.3dogsrocketry.com/#thumb of the tower with your 3″ diameter rocket loaded and ready…   Read more»

Ed. fin span may be an issue… Dale’s tower was originally made for my 3″ project which had a 3″ fin span, so from centerline to the outside of my rocket, that is 4.5″, or 9″ in diameter. I don’t…   Read more»

Not a problem to adjust the tower that Dale made to accommodate a 98mm bird.We’ll make sure it is at the launch in April.Ed

I think Brian is looking for a tower set up? Our larger pads could certailny accommodate. And the swing set could probably be arranged for if needed. I’m not sure of the fin span available from the largest tower Dale…   Read more»
