Wireless Launchpad
The Ultimate Hi-Tech
Launch Equipment.
Designed using drone parts, we designed the wireless launchpad to defy limits and change the world of rocketry. With no compromises, it was designed with the perfect balance between functionality, reliability, and safety. With a extremely long range, if you need to be farther from the rocket, the launchpad can handle it. It is the future of model rocket launchpads.
Features
Safety
Safety is always first with model rocketry, and this launchpad is no exception. It features a on/off switch within the launchpad which prevents accidental launches till the final countdown. It also includes an interlock series to prevent accidental launches as well.
Continuity
Igniters are easy to bend and break. That's why the launchpad features a continuity checker that beeps when there is continuity.
Dual safety
The electronics in the launchpad can be turned off, and the transmitter can be turned off as well. This means there are two switches that need to be activated before the actual countdown.
Interference
In case of other wireless systems near by, the remote is paired directly to the receiver which prevents 2.4 ghz interference. Additionally, the launchpad is turned off until the final countdown, which means it cannot receive anything till it is on.
Voltage Reading
The transmitter/remote gives out a voltage reading so you know if your launchpad is running low on charge.
Additional safetyThe launchpad exceeds all guidelines set forward by the NAR.
Construction Features
The exhaust from the rocket is directed down this pipe and expelled on the other side of the launchpad to protect the electronics.
A small slot provides a viewing hole for our GoPros to get awesome shots of the rocket flying off from real close.
A service hatch allows quick and easy access to the electronics in case there is a need to troubleshoot on the field.

increased exhaust pipe more voltage
Slanted exhaust director keeps unwanted smoke away from GoPro shots and into the exhaust pipe. Increased thickness of where the rocket sits ensures the electronics are safe and cool. The increased voltage also makes the ignition faster with less delay.
Honestly, I cannot believe I have never thought of something so simple. I have a spare remote control laying around and with either a servo or any other choices of components, this could be done fairly easily. I just launched off two rockets this past weekend and I thought that thirty feet of wire would be enough distance. It wasn't and it's also a pain to roll up nicely afterwards
Sweet, didn't realize you could get enough amps out of a group of 9vs. Definitely safer than the 14.5v I'm using :D
