I would like to thank all of those who have shown interest in and used the the Towerlauncher product. This year I have decided to focus primarily on our engineering work at Caztek, Inc. All of the products shown on this website will continue to be available to the ameteur rocketeers on a custom order basis. Please visit our main site at www.caztek.com to contact me.
We offer a full array of design and engineering services for a variety of customers in the aerospace, medical and industrial fields including CAD modeling in solidWorks and Pro Engineer as well as finite elment analysis. We also excel at cnc machining of short run, close tolerance work.

CAZTEK Inc. announces that their flagship product, the towerlaunch
pad, is now Hypertek hybrid compatible. With the addition of a hybrid
crossplate, the tower can now accomodate hybrid motor fill tubes
with ease. The adjustable nature of the standard TL standoff lends
itself well to the addition of the hybrid crossplate. Adjustment
is quick and easy. |

Rocketeer feedback has led to several design improvements of the
CAZTEK Towerlauncher. The baseplate can now tilt to a horizontal
position without the removal of the lockdown wing bolts. This facilitates
easier loading when the tower is pre-set for a specific diameter
rocket. |

in Amarillo, TX. Attendees got a chance to view the new launch pad
in the vendor area, and several rocketeers flew off of the pad for
demonstration purposes. Notably, Barry Lynch of LOC/Precision of
Ohio flew a Rattworks hybrid powered rocket off of the new tower.
