Nevermind.
I thought I had seen it somewhere (I’ve not had one like that) but as I said, I haven’t been able to actually find exactly that configuration.Do you know of such a thing in real life? My own experience, though extremely limited, includes only one launch system with a lantern battery. Perhaps Amend made it up? It would be more clear what's going on to readers who don't know the hobby; "Oh, they're using that battery to launch the rocket", which might be less obvious otherwise.
No, that’s not what I mean. Look at the cartoon. There is a lantern battery on the ground near the tripod pad and connected to it with a short lead. The setup is as if the Centuri Lectra-Line 1 was connected to an early Porta Pad but so far I haven’t been able to find a pad setup quite like what Bill Amend fairly consistently draws. It isn’t MPC or MRC or Cox setup either as near as I can find in a brief look around the interwebs….
I see what you did there.
did you?I see what you did there.
I have to say, the guy builds some very strong rockets. Other than a bit of dirt, the rocket was fine.Sad for the flier, but it makes a great picture.
Where did you get this shirt!?
Bananas for scale.
Oh SNAP!! Another plunging rocket...Mr. PlungerView attachment 640565
