Giant Leap's new tower design.

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana USA — Giant Leap Rocketry, Inc. has released a redesign of their two launch towers. The new towers use three Extreme Rails to guide the rocket into the air instead of the round rods on the earlier design. The rails are stronger, lighter and have virtually no whip.

These towers allow you to launch your rocket without the use of rail guides or lugs. According to Ed at Giant Leap, "It’s the secret weapon for low-drag, high altitude flights."

As before, the towers fit onto any launch pad that accepts a 1/2" rod. The Giant Leap towers come in two sizes: the Standard Tower is 4 feet tall and is good for rockets up to and including 3" in diameter. The Long Tower is 7 feet tall and is suitable for rockets 4" in diameter and larger.
