Review title: Sturdier launch rods are important, but this product is not the best.
Product review: Heavier model rockets and multi-stagers definitely could use the added support of a 3/16 inch diameter launch rod. However, this two-piece rod may not be the ideal solution.First, there is the high cost. A 36" music wire rod of 3/16" diameter costs less than $3.00 at the local hardware store.OK, the seeming convenience of a take-apart rod might make storage and transportation easier, but there are drawbacks to this Maxi-Rod in particular. The attach junction might not be perfectly plumb; any run-out between the two pieces translates to a noticeable bump at the joint. A model rocket's launch lug can snag on that edge. I have seen D-powered rockets tear the top rod segment out at take-off.The only solution is to file and sand any uneveness flush. You wouldn't have this extra hassle with a single-piece music wire.Take a pass on this product.
