The Mantis is perfect for flying both mid-power rockets (E, F, G) and small model rockets (A through D) as it accepts 1/4”, 3/16” and 1/8” launch rods. Mantis makes loading a rocket easy with a swing-arm that can lower the launch rod to a horizontal position. Loaded rockets sit well off the ground for comfortable igniter hook up. Mantis is the only mid-power rocket launch pad that allows launch rod elevation and azimuth adjustments to be made without having to pick up and move the entire launcher. Mantis come with a two-piece 1/4” diameter launch rod.

Interlock Launch Controller:

A launch controller is only as good as it is safe and convenient. When armed, the Interlock controller emits a warning tone to alert spectators to a possible launch and after firing the Key Eject system automatically disarms the firing circuit for the utmost in personal protection. Our Interlock controller is conveniently designed to hook up directly to your car’s 12 volt battery and to assist in placing you at a safe launch distance, incorporates 40 feet of heavy-duty power cord.
