Launch Pad

[corelki2005]

Have decided to do the build diary for the launch pad here as there are a lot of parts so deserves its own section

Also I have to decipher the Japanese instructions

The parts part 1: The sides

[corelki2005]

For those of you who would like a size comparison, I will do this when it is fully assembled

Part 2: various small parts like linkages etc plus approx. 150 screws of various sizes and the electronics

[corelki2005]

Part 3 - the top, launch ramp and palm trees

I would love to have got this to go with my launch bay that I'm building but at the moment I can't afford the £250! Still I'm looking forwards to your build!

with the whole lot assembled without the palm trees

with the ramp up. the palm tree don't automatically move when the ramp is up, there is a mechanical button you have to push that is to the right

a pic for size comparison, for information if I was to lay the sugar cube down and cover the whole of the ramp I would need approx. 1125 or nearly 9 boxes of them

a sugar cube is 17x17x10mm in size
