This PowrPad was part of the Eagle Power Starter Set introduced in 1973 Centuri Catalog.
A very smart design using a 6 volt lantern battery for base weight.
The descriptive copy says it will handle 1/2A through D engines.
A design feature was the controller that fit into the carrying handle.
Here's all the controller parts.
There is 15 feet of wire leads, the micro clips are pre-soldered.
On the right are the metallic stickers.
Some parts of interest clockwise from the left:
The red launch button, 6 volt continuity light bulb, green light cover, "Medallion" safety key holder, rocket position spring and the three internal brass connector strips.
The Powr Pad was so cool; I got one for my 12th or 13th birthday.
