Estes Power Plex Launch Pad
If the Estes Power Plex Launch Pad (1993 - 1996) was MIB, what would it look like? Would it be in a box? Plastic Bag? Box color? Bag tag?
And the Command Launch controller? What would it look like if it was new? ??? ??? |

The controller came in a box, not sure about the pad.

Thanks for the reply PaulK.
Looks like not very many people had a Power Plex Launch Pad or Command Launch Controller. |

I have never seen either one "in the wild," so to speak.

I have a Command Launch Controller. I like it. It has enough power (14.4 volts) to launch anything I'll ever fly. It came in a box which I threw out, but here's a link to what it looks like: http://www.hobbylinc.com/gr/est/est2234.htm

Hi, I had one of these Pads at one time. They were packed in a box. Take Care, Jimi |

I didn't know Estes even made such a thing. Makes me want to run out and buy some 1/2" PVC pipe...

I hope the tooling for this still exists. What a great product to bring back, as more and more BARs experiment with higher powered rockets. That has got to be the first Estes launch pad I've seen that I wouldn't consider "disposable".
