I like the original metal-cabinet one just fine, though (but if someone made the later ones, I wouldn't turn my muzzle up at them). ALSO, the flat angled blast deflector on the simpler, "block o' wood" launch pad (on the same catalog page as the original Lectra Line launch controller, in your first link above) would be *very* easy to make--just cut out a properly-sized rectangular piece of sheet steel, then bend it in the correct places and drill (or maybe punch) two holes to fit over the launch rod!


Sorry for the broken link. (*Note: EFC-66 Ignition Control Panel link in post #26 above has been corrected.) Here's a different link for the EFC-66 Ignition Control Panel: https://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/c...68/68cen66.html

Both links should work now.

Kind regards,
