How to prevent aggressive string pulls from pulling over the launch pad?
A Both the 2007 and the 2008 launch pads are sturdy. However, the person pulling the launch string should not be agressively pulling the string. The launch pad can be pulled over and possibly broken at the base. The base is fairly easy to repair with CPVC fitting inside. Wes has found a way to limit the pull of the string by putting a “U” shapped metal stake in the ground and running the string under the metal. See illustration attached. He puts a wooden stick on the string so the string stops when the wooden stick reaches the metal stake.
