Brief:  Can handle 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 launch rods and is adjustable for wind elevation.

Construction:

Quality: All the parts were there and I even got a few spare parts!  The quality of the the materials is good even though it looks kind of cheap. . . being mostly made of plastic.

Instructions: They were missing. They were missing. I called Aerotech who directed me to their website where I was able to download the instructions.  The directions were pretty easy to follow.

Ease of build: Since it is mostly plastic I felt like I was putting together a model kit. The only parts not plastic are the bolts, some nuts and the legs. 

The only real disappointment in assembly was that the legs were plain metal. In all the ads the legs have those cool yellow and black stripes. I thought the launch pad kit had stickers or something.  I even called Aerotech to ask about them. They told me that they had been painted for the ads. I did mine with yellow and black duct tape.

Construction Rating: 3 out of 5

Summary:  It works very well with the rockets I have. The heaviest rocket I own is less than 3 lbs. For rockets that require a 3/16 rod it was fantastic. It has worked out pretty good for me.  Since it came with the Aerotech Initiator kit I think it was a good value.  I would NOT have purchased it as a separate item, because it costs too much by itself. For less money you could make a home made one that would work better. 

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
