If you tried to use the Astron II pad, the results would NOT be good.
It is designed to only handle rockets only weighing up to around 10oz. maximum.
It will not take a 1/4" launch rod which is what the PSII rockets use.
It takes up to a 3/16" rod maximum.

If one tried to launch a PSII rocket off that flimsy pad using the 3/16" rod inside 1/4" lugs, one would get massive rodd-whipp upon liftoff, causing the rocket to VEER UNPREDICTABLY off the intended flight path even in conditions of ZERO WIND.

In short, DON'T EVEN TRY IT.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !
