This must be "launcher week" on the Water Rocket Forum, 'cuz we got several great designs up here now. I really like this model because it's made from common parts and doesn't need any special tools to put together a really good looking pad.

I think that a good presentation is important because sometimes I think people new to rockets are more likely to get interested if the hardware looks nice.
