Estes Rocket Accessories Editorial Review

The Estes 2238 Porta-Pad E Launch Pad is a versatile launch pad that can launch most rockets, although the included 1/4 inch diameter launch rod is too thick for some larger models like the Big Bertha. It is noted that most launch sets come with a launch pad with a 1/8 inch diameter launch rod and launch controller. The review mentions that the product comes with a 48" long rod and it is unclear what the diameter of the guide wire is. It is confirmed that any launch controller can be used as long as it delivers the appropriate amount of current for the igniters. Customers confirm it is suitable for use with a G engine. They recommend using a smaller straw to glue the rocket to the guide wire when using smaller rockets.
