[NRV Rocketry] Big TWO DAY Rocket Launch Coming Up Quick! (Feb 16th-17th)

[Bob Schoner]

Ok.  A company named 80/20 sells aluminum extrusions that are commonly used
for launch rails.  Thier naming convention is related to inches so a 1010
rail is 1 inch by 1 inch, a 1515 is 1.5" by 1.5"  The center channel is
approximately 1/4" for the 1010 and the 1515 slot is less than 1/2", maybe
3/8?  Almost any 'small' rail button or guide will be 1/4" and fit the 1010
rails.  Almost all Large rail buttons willfit the 1515 rail.

Does that help?
