Review: GREAT, HIGHLY recommended. - This is much better than the Estes less expensive launch pad. It is solid, durable. You'll need to use a thinner launch rod than the one that is included for standard sized rockets . If you launch a lot of rockets, as I do with students you'll appreciate this item.
Review: Robust, larger launch pad - Ease of set-up and disassembly, quite a bit more stable, with larger diameter launch pole, and it didn't break the bank.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT, HIGHLY recommended.
*by E***. on October 29, 2023*

This is much better than the Estes less expensive launch pad. It is solid, durable. You'll need to use a thinner launch rod than the one that is included for standard sized rockets . If you launch a lot of rockets, as I do with students you'll appreciate this item.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Robust, larger launch pad
*by D***X on July 18, 2024*

Ease of set-up and disassembly, quite a bit more stable, with larger diameter launch pole, and it didn't break the bank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit lightweight, but there is an easy fix.
*by G***H on September 28, 2014*

The pad works as advertised. It has a few flaws, but they are easily overcome. First, it is a bit lightweight, but there is an easy fix for that. Just get a package of inexpensive metal tent pegs (the ones that are shaped like candy canes). drill a hole just slightly larger than the diameter of the pegs in the end of each of the launch pad's legs, and then push the pegs through the holes you drilled and into the ground below. The pad will be rock steady in anything short of a hurricane. I have launched 6' tall E-class rockets with this setup, and the pad was plenty steady. Remember, this is a "Porta Pad," the "Porta" is short for portable. You give up a bit of size/weight for convenience. The E Launch Pad has a large blast deflector, sturdy legs, and accepts different size launch rods. You can angle the rod to compensate for wind. Seriously, you get a LOT of launch pad for your money here. Are there better pads out there? Sure. Are they cost effective? That's in the eye of the beholder. You can spend $120-200 and get an elevated pad that looks as impressive as all get out, but will it do a better job of launching your A-E class rockets? In my experience, the answer is no, not in any significant way. If you plan to launch larger rockets than E-class, then you might be well served getting a heavier, fancier launch pad. But for about 90% of the people who are casually involved in model rocketry, this pad will suit your needs without breaking the bank.
