_Launch Lugs_ are such a _drag._ {Yeah, I said it...😊}

I did'nt want to remove the existing launch lugs or add rail buttons on already completed rockets to comply with the new NAR rules that does not alow for "F" and above motors to use launch rods.Tried these for the first time at the last launch...they work great!!

I would think you could adapt this design to use regular launch lugs. One half of the guide would have a lug in the center, the other half would have a lug at each end. When wrapped around the rocket, the lugs would line up so a rod could go through.

Thats a great idea. We may have to look into that.

@Peter Kodheli We don't make the TARC rules, nor do we interpret them. You'll have to go to the TARC website to get your answer.

This would be good for a scale model rocket like a Mercury-Redstone or Saturn V so you wouldn't have a launch lug to ruin the appearance.

If I paint these rail guides, will the paint cause more drag on the rail or is it the same?

I paint mine too. they work fine.

Which program are you using for that simulation? It looks like an autocad type program.

It is an autodesk product called flow design

Do you make your own rocket motor at apogee component ? I've seen a C6 IIRC in OpenRocket, and the manufacturer is apogee, is that your company?

This is awesome, but where can you get a rail for small rockets? Or is there a version for launch rods?

The fly away rail guide lets you use a big rail for small rockets. The reason is that big rails are significantly longer than a rod. Rods whip. You want some thing rock-stable. There is no such thing as a rail that is too long. Longer is always better.

How do you prevent the rail guide from striking or sliding along the leading edge of the fins as it opens? Has anyone studied this issue?

This must be a massive problem for you. I've personally never encountered it. So I guess you're the one that has to study the issue. Go for it.

@@apogeerockets I don't use them, but a friend does and he recently had an issue with his fly away rail guide sliding down over the fins affecting the flight path. You are right that I should study the issue. I fly millisecond high speed flight computers in all my rockets. Since I need some fly away guide experience, I'll be placing an order.

You don't have a rocket without guide fins to use in this demo.
