The 3/16" Two-Piece MAXI™ Launch Rod is a valuable accessory for retailers serving customers who fly larger Estes model rockets. Its increased diameter and length provide the support needed for heavier rockets to accelerate smoothly and establish stable flight before leaving the launch rod.

A Natural Upgrade for Growing Rocketeers

Customers progressing into rockets powered by C11, D, and E engines often need launch equipment designed for larger models. Stocking the MAXI™ Launch Rod gives them a straightforward way to upgrade their launch setup while continuing to use familiar Estes equipment.

Compatible With Popular Estes Launch Pads

The launch rod can be used with both the Estes Porta-Pad II (#2215) and Porta-Pad E (#2238), making it a versatile add-on for customers who already own either system. Its two-piece construction also makes it easy to package, display, store, and transport.

A Useful Accessory for the Workbench and Field

Beyond launch day, the 3/16" MAXI™ Launch Rod can serve as an alignment tool when building rockets that use two launch lugs. That added functionality makes it a useful accessory for both active flyers and hobbyists working on larger model rocket projects.
