Thumbs up Measurement confirmation

Have not assembled it before (hardware still sealed in bags) and taken direct size measurements between the two (deck height, launcher base spread on legs, etc.), but it would be a pretty sturdy launcher no doubt for many a large rocket, especially 'back in the day' of MiniMax and Enerjet F stuff.

A quick measurement of the longest distance on the top plates using the GIMP measurement tool shows the LIA-100 is 1.25 times the size of the LIA-77.

So as mentioned earlier, the bigger pad is almost 1/3rd larger than the smaller one.

Good job on all the research, everybody! I appreciate it!
